GTA Online: What's the Fastest Motorcycle? The Complete Ranking (2026)
The Western Reever hits 163 mph, making it the fastest motorcycle in GTA Online. Here's the full top-10 ranking, prices, and the fastest bike on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The fastest motorcycle in GTA Online is the Western Reever, clocked at 163.00 mph (262 km/h) in Broughy1322's standardized top-speed test. That makes it faster than most supercars in the game, not just other bikes. It costs $1,900,000 at Legendary Motorsport. If you play on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, the HSW-upgraded Hakuchou Drag can edge close to it too, hitting 157.50 mph in a straight line.
Here is the short version before the full breakdown:
- Fastest bike overall: Western Reever, 163.00 mph (262 km/h), $1,900,000 at Legendary Motorsport.
- Fastest on Enhanced consoles (PS5 / Xbox Series X|S) with HSW: Hakuchou Drag, up to 157.50 mph (253 km/h).
- Fastest weaponized bike: Western Deathbike, 150.00 mph (241 km/h), unlocked through Arena War.
- Best value fast bike: Nagasaki BF400, around 127 mph for a modest price at Southern S.A. Super Autos.
- Best bike for actual racing, not just a straight line: the Western Powersurge posts the quickest lap time of any motorcycle on Broughy's test track.
Why the Western Reever Is the Fastest Motorcycle in GTA Online
The Reever is a Battle of the Bay dealership bike that Rockstar tuned to sit above every other motorcycle in a straight line. Fully upgraded at Legendary Motorsport, it reaches 163.00 mph, a figure that puts it ahead of ground vehicles like the Ocelot Pariah and within range of the fastest cars in the game. If speed alone is your goal and you have $1,900,000 to spend, the Reever is the answer, and it remains the benchmark every other bike gets compared to whenever Rockstar adds a new one.
It is not a great racing bike, though. It is heavy for a motorcycle, slow to turn, and easy to lose control of over uneven terrain, so most of that top speed only matters on a long, straight road or a runway.
Top 10 Fastest Motorcycles in GTA Online, Ranked by Top Speed
All figures come from Broughy1322's fully-upgraded, straight-line testing, the standard the community uses because it is repeatable and controls for engine, transmission and turbo upgrades.
| Rank | Motorcycle | Top Speed | Where to Buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Western Reever | 163.00 mph (262 km/h) | Legendary Motorsport, $1,900,000 |
| 2 | Western Deathbike | 150.00 mph (241 km/h) | Arena War |
| 3 | Pegassi Bati 801 / 801RR | 131.5 mph (211 km/h) | Southern S.A. Super Autos |
| 4 | Shitzu Hakuchou | 131.0 mph (211 km/h) | Southern S.A. Super Autos |
| 5 | Nagasaki BF400 | 127.0 mph (204 km/h) | Southern S.A. Super Autos |
| 6 | Shitzu Hakuchou Drag | 126.5 mph (204 km/h), up to 157.50 mph with HSW | Legendary Motorsport |
| 7 | Nagasaki Shinobi | 125.3 mph (202 km/h) | Southern S.A. Super Autos |

Is the Reever's 163 mph Real, or a Quirk of the Test?
It is real, but the number comes with an asterisk worth knowing. The Reever only reaches its full 163 mph while pulling a slight wheelie, a side effect of its weight distribution under acceleration. Ride it flat and the number drops a few mph. This is not a glitch Rockstar is expected to patch, it is simply how the bike's physics resolve at full throttle, and it is why the Reever's number gets asterisked on most testing spreadsheets, including Broughy1322's.
The Fastest Motorcycle on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S: Hakuchou Drag With HSW
The Hakuchou Drag is a drag-racing bike built around a straight line, and on Enhanced-version consoles it can take the HSW (Hao's Special Works) upgrade, the same performance tier used by the game's fastest HSW cars. With the HSW upgrade installed, the Hakuchou Drag's top speed jumps from a stock 126.5 mph to 157.50 mph, making it the second-fastest motorcycle in the game and the fastest one available to players who do not want to spend $1,900,000 on the Reever. The catch: HSW performance is disabled in standard races unless the lobby host turns it on, so it mostly matters for freeroam bragging rights and record attempts.
Top Speed Isn't Everything: The Fastest Bike Around a Lap
A straight-line number does not tell you which bike wins a race. On Broughy1322's custom lap circuit, which mixes corners, elevation changes and straights, the Western Powersurge posts the quickest lap time of any motorcycle at 0:55.371, ahead of bikes with a higher top speed on paper. The Hakuchou Drag is close behind and holds the fastest tested motorcycle lap using its HSW conversion. If you are building a bike for the LS Car Meet Test Track or actual races rather than a straight-line record, prioritize handling and acceleration over the number on the spec sheet, the same logic covered in our fastest cars in GTA Online guide and the Arena War guide to the best combat vehicles.
Best Budget Fast Motorcycles
Not everyone wants to drop $1,900,000 on a straight-line bike. The Nagasaki BF400 and Pegassi Bati 801 both crack 127+ mph for a fraction of the price at Southern S.A. Super Autos, and the Bati 801RR variant adds a livery and slightly sharper handling for the same top speed. The Shitzu Hakuchou, an older Yamaha-style sport bike, is another cheap option that still beats plenty of cars in a straight line. Any of these three are a smarter first fast-bike purchase than the Reever if your garage still needs a business or property more than a speed record.
Weaponized Bikes: When You Need Speed and Firepower
The Western Deathbike, unlocked through Arena War, trades a little top speed for machine guns and remote-detonated mines, and at 150 mph it is still the second-fastest bike in the game. It is the practical pick if you want a fast bike that can also fight back in freeroam. The Pegassi Oppressor Mk II is worth a mention too: it is technically a motorcycle, but its real value is the flight mode and homing missiles rather than its ground top speed, which sits well below the Reever's.
How These Top Speeds Are Tested
Every figure above comes from a fully upgraded vehicle (max engine, transmission and any available turbo) tested in a straight line on a flat, empty stretch of road, the methodology YouTuber Broughy1322 has used since 2015 across hundreds of GTA Online vehicles. Buying a bike stock and skipping the Los Santos Customs upgrades will get you nowhere near these numbers, so if you want your new bike to hit its rated top speed, budget for the full upgrade package on top of the sticker price.

Fastest Motorcycle FAQ
What is the fastest motorcycle in GTA Online in 2026? The Western Reever, at 163.00 mph (262 km/h) fully upgraded, purchased from Legendary Motorsport for $1,900,000.
Is the Oppressor Mk II faster than the Reever? Not on the ground. The Oppressor Mk II's real advantage is its flight mode and missiles, not its top speed, which trails the Reever by a wide margin.
Do I need HSW upgrades to get a fast bike? No. HSW only applies to specific vehicles on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, like the Hakuchou Drag. The Reever, Deathbike, BF400 and Bati 801 all hit their rated top speeds on any platform once fully upgraded at Los Santos Customs.
What was the fastest motorcycle in the original GTA 5 story mode? A different bike takes that title, since story mode locks out some of the Online-only vehicles. See our ranking of the fastest motorcycle in GTA 5 story mode for the full breakdown.
