- "An Italian that is rough around the edges but smooth where it counts and plenty of gas in the tank to go the extra mile with sexual analogies."

The Pegassi Ruffian is a motorbike that appears in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Design
Grand Theft Auto V
The Ruffian is mainly based on the Ducati Monster, with similar engine molding, gas tank, headlight, tail lights, exhaust system and seats, albeit with a longer, wider tail section.
The Ruffian looks very similar to the PCJ-600, having the same engine arrangement, wheelbase, front forks and front brakes. However, it has a different fuel tank (which features vents on the front and a distinctive shape on the sides) and the seats (which occupies most of the bottom section).
The Ruffian spawns in two versions: a standard model with a single headlight with a small fairing and a streetfighter model with twin headlights and no fairing.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto V
The Ruffian is a very quick and versatile sportsbike. It is one of the fastest bikes in the game, only falling behind the Bati 801, Akuma and Vader.
The Ruffian is powered by a 3-cylinder engine, giving it excellent acceleration and decent top speed. Greater stability is credited to its longer wheelbase, which makes cruising at high speeds safer than other shorter bikes. In addition, despite being a sportsbike, it does not notably suffer when driving off-road. While it is clearly not optimal, a skilled driver can make the minor disadvantage seem nonexistent.
On the other hand, cornering does suffer. It is considerably less agile than other motorcycles and is thus not well suited for race circuits with more turns than straights. Stunt agility, however, is notable. Pulling tricks with this bike is quite easy thanks to its high ride height, ease of performing wheelies and light weight.
