The Shitzu Vader is a motorcycle featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony, and in the upcoming title Grand Theft Auto V.
Although the Shitzu logo cannot be found on the bike itself, the police refer to it as a "Shitzu Vader" over their radio.
Description
Design
The bikes overall design appears to be inspired by early Suzuki SV1000 models, featuring a similarly shaped body and seat layout.
Performance
The Vader has a great top speed, but sub-par acceleration and braking ability. The bike is however good for tricks as the poor brakes allow for better control during slides and endos.
Variants
There are two variations of this bike. One (pictured above) has twin exhausts mounted under the seat, and no license plate; while the other has large twin side exhausts and a Liberty City license plate.
