The Shitzu Vader is a streetfighter featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony, and Grand Theft Auto V.
Design
The Ballad of Gay Tony
The bike's overall design appears to be inspired by various Kawasaki naked bike models (which include the Versys, Ninja, Z-series and ER-6n), featuring a similar shaped body and seat layout. It also takes design cues from other standard bikes such as the Honda Hornet, Yamaha Fazer, and to a lesser extent, the KTM Duke 200.
Grand Theft Auto V
The bike's initial design and influence remain identical, but the bike will now spawn with smaller features and different colour variations.

Performance
The Ballad of Gay Tony
Acceleration and braking are average, but the top speed is impressive. The Vader does not handle as sharp as other bikes. However, thanks to its stability, this bike is more suitable for a long distance trip. It is also a great choice for those who does not want the heavy weight of a chopper-style motorcycle, as it is very lightweight. Its short wheelbase and height make it an easy bike for doing a wheelie.

Grand Theft Auto V
The Vader returns with minimal performance changes, other than a slightly-lowered curb weight, now weighing in a 240 kg, and tweaks to handling and turning cycles. The top speed remains the same, but thanks to GTA V's altered handling system, acceleration seems to be more responsive due to better traction; a result of the alterations to the handling system.

Trivia
General
- Vader is Dutch for the word "Father".
- The default radio stations for the Vader are:
- The Ballad of Gay Tony: K109 The Studio or Vice City FM.
- Like several other motorcycles and vehicles, it may lack a license plate, making it deemed illegal to be driven on the road.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
- The Vader has the highest top speed (100 mph/160km) of any bike available in TBoGT. [1]
- As with the PCJ 600, the Vader can spawn with exhaust pipes on the sides or below the seat, as well as the optional license plate holder. Strangely, it never spawns with both the license plate holder and exhaust pipes below the seat.
