Lectro vs Vindicator

[FiVEOHFiVE]

Ok so we have 2 expensive hyped up bikes with KERS and neither is below $500,000. The question is which do you prefer and why? Perhaps you hate both of them. Discuss!

Vindicator. Fun cruiser, feels a little faster than the Thrust and that KERS is a bonus.

 

Lectro is like a Nemesis with KERS, and the Nemesis has always been sh*t, as is the Lectro.

[GTA-Biker]

I prefer Vindicator because I like power cruisers/sport touring bikes more than sport bikes and because it´s cheaper.

I see your point

[REXX]

I was actually saving up to purchase a Lectro and the Vindicator after the release of the update. When I was reading the description of the Vindicator and saw that it had KERS, I hit purchase faster than fly on sh*t! I'll be purchasing the Lectro for my secondary character though.

The Lectro is much faster on the track without using KERS (can't use KERS in races anyway). As proven by Broughy123!

Love riding my Lectro and Akuma.

That's cool. I'm not using this bike for racing, only for cruising and missions.

[Crunch McThornbody]

I tried out the Vindicator in storymode, it felt like it has the turning circle of a cruise liner, it really doesn't want to do anything but go in a straight line!

[SaltyGTAFMember]

Always love the look of a cruise bike,#I know you're watching me senpai XXO

[.Vooodu.]

The Vidicator is like a dinka thrust. It feels heavy, has poor handling and can barely jump anything. But its fun to ride.

 

Lectro is light weight, awesome handling and can pretty much speed jump over everything.

None, But If I had to choose... Lectro, for looks.

[Bossman_518]

Vindicator is a beast. It might be a little heavier but I like the stability.

[MayoChiki]

The only problem I have with the Vindicator is the Staryu front.

 

[PatG]

I really dislike the look of the Vindicator (and the Thrust), so I'd prefer the Lectro.

[TH3 S3LL0UT]

Vindicator all the way. The engine on that thing is loud and it plows down the road. Everything on it is excellent minus the wide turns.

[CH14R1]

Bought one, it's funny as hell. I am impressed by the performance, even without kers.

[Vova07]

If you are driving the Lectro, and hit a pole you will fly around 2 blocks. It's crazy how far you go when you crash on the Lectro.

[Furry_Monkey]

The Lectro is a touch faster than the Vindicator. I tested this on a drag strip race last night and expected there to be a bigger difference but over a mile the Lectro was only about 1/10th of a second faster (averaged over multiple times). The Vindicator does have a larger turning circle, so cornering is not as good as the Lectro, which I'd put near the top of the list for bike handling.

 

It comes down to what you want. Do you want a cruiser? Get the Vindicator. Do you want a nimble street bike? Get the Lectro. Do you want to win races? Look elsewhere.

Did you try to do a wheelie and Kers at the same time?

[luisniko]

Both are sh*t in speed. Both's KERS can't run from speed-bender cops. Both are overpriced.

 

Normal & normal premium bikes FTW.

Yeah. If you pull back and then hit KERS you get a slight wheelie, but it's not enough to do anything decent with and it drops down quite quickly. The Lectro definitely beats it in that department, but still isn't that good at it. If you're looking for stunting wheelies then it'll do mediocre stunts at best.

[Geefiasco]

Lectro.

 

I re-bought one yesterday after selling it for cash needs a few weeks ago.

 

Not the greatest for speed when stock, but it's definitely acceptable once fully upgraded.

 

It's aesthetically the best looking bike on the game in my opinion - this a lone is a deal clincher!

[Sky_Light12]

hah , the vindicator is generally comparable to the thrust in terms of handling and feel . the acceleration is lacking for a motorcycle & acceptable top speed

because of long wheelbase , the handling is poor as thrust and thus , requiring braking while going around a corner

 

however , vindicator is more suited KERS than lectro because poor handling means that the motorcycle brakes in more corners than similar bikes, therefore generating more KERS boost opportunities . not to mention that lectro needs to be unlocked while vindicator don't

 

the price tag are :

vindicator - $630.000 ( a " copypasta " of thrust )

Lectro - $750.000 ( a " copypasta " of nemesis )

[TreFacTor]

Vindicator SCREAMED Akira for me so I had to get it regardless of performance just for nostalgia.

[TovarishTony]

Vindicator does look better than Franklin's bike. Problem is its handling where its kinda hard to make sharp turns compared to the Lectro. I have both

[shadowoperative]

I will sell mine this week.

 

Bati and Akuma are far superior IMO.

[.Vooodu.]

Both are sh*t in speed. Both's KERS can't run from speed-bender cops. Both are overpriced.

You don't need to outrun cops when on agile street bikes, especially the Lectro.. You just need to avoid them and be smart about it.

 

The Lectro is the fastest bike in the game, it just does not have the highest top speed.

 

This will confuse people because they think speed is all about top speed or racing. But the Lectro can go from 0-90 in a split second.

 

So when the cops come... Just stop, flip them the bird... Double clutch kers boost and jump the hell out of there.

 

 

 

Also.. the Lectro is pretty much the best bike for street combat due to its handling and kers boosts. The Kers boost can get you out of bad spot asap.

orly ? i could swore lectro is a fairly average performing bike , resemble nemesis . the KERS can keep up akuma , albeit shortly

the handling is not very notable and it feels heavier than nemesis

The kers boost alone makes the bike. I can have about a 10 foot runway and double clutch Kers boost off a dumpster and go flying.

 

Thats the speed im talking about.

 

Sure a bati will blow it away in a race. But try catching a Lectro while it boosts around a block, and it won't keep up.

 

Its the stop and go.. that makes it fast. Not the over all speed.

People don't understand it's a break-boost bike which means it can out run anything in the city.

The akuma is no match for any Kers bike in the city, it's the urban commando of bikes.
