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 manufactured by the supercar company Pegassi and is mainly based on the Ducati Monster design, with similar engine molding, gas tank, headlight, taillights, exhaust system and seats, albeit with a longer, wider tail section.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto V
The Ruffian is a very quick and versatile sportsbike. It's one of the fastest bikes in the game, only falling behind the Bati 801, Dinka Akuma and Shitzu Vader. Like other high-end motorcycles in GTA V, it is powered by a water cooled engine [citation/verification needed] 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.

Trivia
General
- "Ruffian" is a word used to describe a violent person, usually involved in crime.
- Its name could be a reference to Ruffian, an American champion thoroughbred racehorse.
Grand Theft Auto V
- The Ruffian looks very similar to the PCJ-600 motorcycle, having the same engine arrangement, wheelbase, front forks and front brakes.
- With the bodywork mod, it will to look very similar to the Akuma. A good way to determine the difference is by looking at the headlights, for the Akuma has two small bulbs and the Ruffian has two large bulbs.
- It is possible to modify the bike in GTA V by removing the rear number plate, which would make it illegal to drive on the road.
