The PCJ 600 is a sports bike with an aerodynamic design. InGrand Theft Auto: Vice City andGrand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, it resembles a combination between aSuzuki TL1000S with the headlight from theHonda CBR600F2 and the rear and seat of a late '80sSuzuki GSX-R750, as well as the fender from theSuzuki SV650S. InGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it is similar toGTA Vice City/GTA Vice City Stories versions, but now it is based entirely on a streetfighter Honda CBR600F2 with only the fuel tank keeping the Suzuki TL1000S design, though more rounded like the Honda. InGrand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the bike receives a facelift that provides the vehicle with a more modernized appearance, like an early '90sDucati Supersport andYamaha FZR600; it is worth noting, however, that the bike is depicted in its original form in earlier pre-release screenshots of the game.
The bike normally spawns in a variety of single primary colors for the body, with theGTA Liberty City Stories version having a secondary-colored portion on the lower side.
The bike retains some of the similarities with previous renditions, but has notorious changes on the front and sides. The front section features a large fender mounted to the fork legs, while the upper side holds the frontal lights. The upper clamp/plate holds two independent handlebars with mirrors on either side and two dial pods on the centre. The main body is rather basic and features a large fuel tank with "Shitzu" badges on the sides, while the engine bay features a front radiator and three exhaust tubes running towards the lower side. The rear section is mostly occupied by a black seat with room for two occupants, foot pegs for both the rider and the passenger and a single red tail lamp on the end, as well as badges displaying the bike's name and manufacturer on the rear portion, and the engine specifications on the lower side borders. The rear wheel is connected by a dual-sided swing-arm with a single suspension spring, with the chain drive and sprocket on the left side.
Unlike its predecessors, the bike comes with a variety of accessories that allows for many variations of the bike, including:
A single large or dual small headlamps.
Black or silver dial pods.
A basic black frame or two variations of reinforced frames on the sides; a painted one or a silver one.
Three exhaust configurations (Single pipe on the right side, single pipe below the seats and twin pipes below the seat).
Two standard black or small silver rear-view mirrors.
Optional rear black frame holding the turning lights and the license plate.
The PCJ 600 spawns in a variety of primary colours applied on the front fender, fuel tank and rear section, as well as secondary colours applied on the painted reinforced frame and the rims. It uses three-spoke rims with medium-profile tyres, with the rear one being wider.
Grand Theft Auto V andOnline[]
InGrand Theft Auto V andGrand Theft Auto Online, the PCJ 600 retains the design fromGTA IV, albeit with a gold finish on the front fork legs and the badges changed from black traditional markings to silver embossed lettering. Most of its original extras are available inLos Santos Customs, with the exception of the headlamp and dial pod options, as the former is determined by the extra chosen upon spawn and the latter is always black. In the enhanced version, the pods use updated analog dials that is shared with most sports bikes.
Colour distribution is a bit different, as the basic frame is painted with the secondary colour and the rims use a dedicated wheel colour, which can be painted by selecting a custom rear wheel, applying a colour and change back to the stock wheel (as it won't reset to the default alloy colour). It retains the same rim design and the wider rear tyre.
Performance[]
3D Universe[]
Excluding theGTA San Andreas rendition, the PCJ 600 is one of the fastest bikes; inGTA Vice City andGTA Vice City Stories, it is tied with theAngel. Overall performance is exceptional, except in handling — high-speed impacts often result in being thrown from the bike, resulting in severe injury or evendeath instantly. It requires more traction to balance the performance. InGTA San Andreas, the PCJ-600 is no longer the fastest bike, as it is outpaced by theNRG-500 andFCR-900.

Grand Theft Auto IV[]
The PCJ 600 inGTA IV is a high-performing motorcycle. It has a good acceleration rate, with its apparent liquid-cooled 3 cylinder engine accelerating it to 60 mph in a short space of time. Its top speed is one of the highest of the motorcycle class. In terms of handling, the motorcycle is mediocre; the bike has a limited turning radius, so a large amount of oversteer is present in corners, often resulting in crashes if the player is travelling at around 50 mph or over. The vehicle has to be traveling at low speeds for a safe corner without the risk of losing control. The vehicle's traction is average for the vehicle; while the vehicle does not spin often, acceleration on a corner will sometimes result in a burn-out without intention, and skidding is often when braking around a corner.
The engine is stated on badges to be a 12-valve, liquid cooled 3 cylinder engine, which is supported by the 3-1 exhaust manifold (3 into 1) seen on the bike. It has a high-revving and loud engine sound.
The PCJ 600 loses out in raw power and speed to its larger rival, theNRG 900, but the lighter weight of the PCJ and more balanced power delivery allows it to be handled easier than the NRG, and when leaning forward, it can keep up down a straight as well.
The PCJ 600 inGTA V has mediocre performance compared to larger capacity bikes. As expected from a standard bike, it does not handle as sharp as a typical sports bike and reaches an average top speed, even when modified. Acceleration is still good, but seems to be downgraded fromGTA IV. Despite these shortcomings, the PCJ 600 is one of the most balanced bikes in the game, with stable handling and smooth power output, making it a very comfortable bike for street cruising and long trips.
Again, the engine is stated on badges to be a 12-valve, liquid cooled 3 cylinder engine, which is supported by the 3-1 exhaust manifold (3 into 1) seen on the bike. The engine noise appears to be a high-pitched version of the one used in theSanchez.
In the beginning of the missionAutocide, inGTA Vice City, the player is given a unique PCJ 600 along with aMicro-SMG, and aSniper Rifle for the task of eliminating members of aEuropean Gang who were setting up a heist at a bank inVice City. The PCJ 600 has a unique white/silver paintjob. Following the completion or failure of the mission, the player can store it in a garage to keep it.
In theGTA Liberty City StoriesracesTorrington TT andGangsta GP, the player races against three PCJ-600s, all of them havingspecial colors (white, sky blue and bright red). They can be obtained by getting to the race, jacking the PCJ-600 of the player's choice, and then quickly killing the former rider by the means of adrive-by. The race will end in failure, but the motorbike is now at the player's disposal.
APCJ 600 with single headlamp, basic frame and a right-mounted exhaust tube. Note the dial pod and rear-view mirror sets present at once.
APCJ 600 with dual headlamps, painted reinforced frame and rear-mounted exhaust tube. Again, the dial pod and rear-view mirror sets are present at once.
Usually spawns beside the water tanker, on the northeast corner of the airstrip atVerdant Meadows. It tends to spawn even before Carl buys the property.
Occasionally, several of them will spawn in the parking lot of theLas Venturas Hospital.

Exotic Exports – The PCJ 600 is one of the ten vehicles wanted by the Exotic Exports side-mission.
Grand Theft Auto V[]
Paparazzo –Franklin andBeverly chaseMiranda Cowan on Beverly's unique metallic blue PCJ 600; Beverly gives the PCJ 600 to Franklin at the end of the mission for his help.
In theenhanced version ofGrand Theft Auto V, the PCJ 600 suffers from a rendering glitch. From a distance the bike appears normal, but when approached the rear wheel incorrectly loads and appears to be the same width and design as the front wheel, though this does not affect performance and it can be corrected by adding custom wheels at a mod shop.
Shooting the tyre and bursting it will expose a partially-modeled wheel model, where the outer side of the rim is not solid.
The "Carbon Panels" modification appears to have the lowest edges of the bodywork rounded/smoothened, but the inner textures retain the sharp-edged profile from the stock bodywork. This is best seen from the rear while modifying the vehicle at a mod shop.
In addition, there is a painted portion on the right side of the fuel tank, as if the carbon texture does not wrap the body completely. This portion cannot be painted, unless the player keeps the painted front mudguard.
Removing either the front mudguard or the plate holder through a mod shop cause a square-shaped oil tank to appear within the engine bay, which follows the primary colour of the bike. This component cannot be painted, unless the player keeps either the painted bodywork or the painted front mudguard.
InGTA Liberty City Stories, some of theLiberty City Bikers wear a PCJ-600 T-shirt.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
Rarely, the PCJ 600 may spawn with both sets of dial pods and rear-view mirrors, and even with both sets of reinforced frames.
Grand Theft Auto V andOnline[]
It is possible to modify the bike inGrand Theft Auto V so that it has no rear number plate, which would make it illegal to drive on the road. Other vehicles that lack plates include theSanchez, theZentorno (original version), theRuffian, theBagger, theAkuma, theDouble-T and theDune Buggy, although it could be argued the latter is not supposed to be a road-legal vehicle.
The badges on the rear readPCJ675, which is inconsistent with the bike's name.
