The HPV-1000 is a police motorcycle in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Design[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

The HPV-1000 is a police motorcycle ridden by San Andreas Police Department police bikers, having a siren and flashing emergency lights. The bike is depicted with a white/grey color with black boxes on the sides and the rear, having the San Andreas Police Department markings.

The HPV-1000 assumes a unique model that is not shared by another motorcycle, and bears resemblance to a police Kawasaki Kz1000.

Performance[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

Powered by a 4-cylinder engine, the HPV-1000 has average acceleration, but is considerably faster than most bikes (only below higher end models such as the FCR-900, PCJ-600 and NRG-500), although the player can fall off easily if they have minimal "bike skill".

It is one of the few bikes which have off/on-road tires, which means that its main advantage over other bikes is its versatility; while some bikes (Sanchez, Quadbike) out-perform it off-road, and others (FCR-900, Freeway) surpass it while street racing, it is still considerably good at both. With this characteristic, the HPV-1000 is capable of tackling the toughest of hills and roadways and is also very agile, though at higher speeds, one might have to resort to brake-turning.

If the Rhino or Hunter is not yet available, this bike is a good choice for completing the Vigilante side mission - mainly because the player can fire a submachine gun straight ahead or on both sides, allowing them to take out the opponent easily. Although its siren is no longer effective in prompting oncoming vehicles to move out of the way, its compact motorcycle design allows it to navigate around traffic far better than full-sized cars.

Overall, the HPV-1000 is a well balanced vehicle to use, as well as one of the few bikes available from the start of the game.

Prominent Appearances in Missions[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

The HPV-1000 makes an important appearance in "Cop Wheels", in where protagonist Carl Johnson needs to steal four HPV-1000s in various places around Las Venturas for the heist and needs to deliver it to a moving Packer. During the mission, no HPV-1000 appear in traffic, forcing CJ to jack the scripted bikes. HPV-1000s also appear in the mission Reuniting the Families, chasing the gang's car. In the mission "Small Town Bank" CJ and Catalina flee from the bikes, but use them afterwards to reach the hideout.

Trivia[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

  • The HPV might stand for "Highway Patrol Vehicle", though it is also possibly a reference to human papillomavirus, which is one of the most common STDs.
  • In a beta version of the game, there was "911" written on the rear, and "SAPD" was replaced with "POLICE". In another beta version, there was a LSPD HPV-1000, implying that there would be a city-specific version of each HPV-1000, rather than a state-wide version.
  • The HPV-1000's emergency lights does not flash from the specified red and blue lights. Instead, they will flash from the front turning lights.
  • The engine sound is actually that of a Honda CB750; this is also used for the PCJ-600, albeit in a higher pitch.[1]
  • Civilian vehicles will not move aside if the player is driving an HPV-1000 with the sirens on, unlike any other emergency vehicles.
  • If a pedestrian pushes an officer off the bike, a police officer on foot will steal the bike while they are fighting.
  • The player cannot invade the impound lot without a wanted level when driving the HPV-1000.
  • In The Definitive Edition, the rear right box incorrectly says "SA" instead of "SAPD".
