Should old-gen GTA Online players get the Hakuchou Drag Bike?

GTA Online’s latest weekly update is once again allowing players to grab select vehicles at amazing discounts, including the Hakuchou Drag Bike.

The Shitzu Hakuchou Drag is a drag bike that was added to the game with the Bikers update on October 4, 2016. It is one of the bikes available in the game that can be upgraded into the HSW variant, exclusive for players on current-gen consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series S|X. This week, players can grab it at a staggering 50% discount.

However, with no HSW upgrade available, old-gen players could wonder if it is worth buying. With that being said, let’s look at everything the Hakuchou Drag can do on last-gen consoles.

Everything last-gen players should know about the Hakuchou Drag in GTA Online

The Shitzu Hakuchou Drag is a custom variant of the Hakuchou bike available in GTA Online and shares the same visual appearance based on the real-life 2008–present Suzuki Hayabusa. Its design is tweaked a bit with shaved mirrors, custom chrome wheels and frames, short exhausts, and a slightly extended swing arm.

Compared to the bike’s appearance in GTA 4, it has a few changes in its design, some of which are as follows:

• Smaller mudguard
• Chrome/silver exhaust tubes
• Extended rear wing-arm
• Footpegs (passenger)
• Sports Bike dial set

When it comes to performance, the Hakuchou Drag bike is powered by an inline-4 engine as four exhaust pipes can be seen coming out of it. The engine is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox and produces a similar sound to the standard Hakuchou. Its mass weight seems to be around 270 kg, making it one of the heaviest bikes in the game.

Players can purchase the bike from the Legendary Motorsport in-game website for $976,000. Once purchased, they can store it in any of their personal Properties or Garages available in the game.

Is it worth purchasing in GTA Online for last-gen players?

The Hakuchou Drag bike is one of the fastest bikes available in the game. It can reach a maximum speed of 126.50 mph (203.58 km/h), as tested by Broughy1322. The record lap time is 0:57.590, which is quite impressive.

Compared to its GTA 4 version, it has significantly improved speed and handling. It suffers from a bit of understeer when going at high speeds. However, it makes up for it with its overall solid performance.

Players who love to perform various cool stunts in the game might be disappointed with the vehicle's inability to do wheelies while riding it. It is one of the recommended choices for participating in races, as the Hakuchou Drag can go head-to-head with other fast bikes in the game with ease.

Even though old-gen players cannot HSW upgrade the bike, it still offers a lot in terms of performance, making it worth the purchase. With an added discount on its price this week, it makes it the best time to purchase it. Players can get the vehicle for as low as $488,000 from Legendary Motorsport.
