Price: 2,480,500$

 

Description: The latest from the two-wheel powerhouse Nagasaki. With force like this, all you need to worry about is an overactive wet sump lubrication system. The bike will be fine.

 

released as of 13th January 2022

 

The Shinobi features liveries heavily inspired by classic Kawasaki Ninja liveries from various decades. A few examples are the following:

 

 

 

Thanks a lot for @AUScowboy for bringing this to attention.

I mean, finally they added an actual modern crotch rocket, but what the f*ck is that pricetag????

[SummerFreeze]

If it wheelies like the Bati, I'm pretty sure it will be competitive.

[AUScowboy]

They gave me my H2R. Wish I could be excited but god knows what they’ll do to it when E&E or the next update drops, gonna wait a year to make sure they don’t just totally change the way it feels and rides out of nowhere like the tuner cars.

[éX-Driver]

Isn’t the whole point of supersport bikes to offer extreme performance for comparatively bargain prices? This costs more than new Truffades and Grottis

[GTA-Biker]

This seems to be a mix of Kawasaki ZX10R on the front and H2 on the rear end of the bike,looks cool but the price is insane (as is with most new vehicles in the last few DLCs).Still,nice to see a new sports bike added in the game,not counting streetfighters and a stretched version of Hakuchou,I think the last time we got a new one was when the original Hakuchou was released.Also hope to see them return the NRG900 from GTA 4 in the future.

Customization is okay, not too much other then race mods and some cool liveries

OH BOI ... I'm really ready for this. (FINALLY SOME GOOD F*CKING FOOD).

 

 

All those years and finally a proper faired/sport bike. (YES ... KEEP THEM COMIN' R*, I NEED MORE ... PANIGALE, CBR-1000RR, GSX-R 1000R, S1000RR, MV Agusta F4, RSV-4, Speed Triple RR ... SOME LOVE FOR SPORT BIKES PLEASE).

 

Got one in the Security Contract Vehicle mission and was quite impressed, both Reever and Shinobi are nice bikes to use around.

 

Already thinking in my H2 and ZX10R builds, oh man ... they are going to be wild.

 

-

 

While i have enough for the rides of this DLC ... WTF is this price ... this alone is more expensive than the Shotaro, Bati 800, Akuma and Hakuchou combined, in the other side ... Reever is also quite expensive.

 

This bike alone is more expensive than some fully tuned META rides of X/specific classes, i know 2 CP Heists runs are enough to make Money for this bike but damn ...

^ big dick screen.

 

f*ck Rockstar, I'll get my hacker friend to gift me the bike for that price.

I’m with you on that.   Now I am paranoid with every buy that next update it’ll be Butchered

[ChrisChros87]

Im not a bike fan but this needs to be better than the Bati 801 in every single way. $15k vs $2.5m

That's precisely the reason why I'm holding off from buying most vehicles from this update(and besides the fact that only a handful of them truly interests me), no way I'm dumping over a million for some of those cars just to see them be destroyed at later updates.

 

With this being said, bikes are mostly safe from R* tinkering with them by adding the stupid castrating flags, the Gargoyle has a speed glitch that hasn't been touched in years and it's really easy to do but R* hasn't touched the bike.

I've only driven it a bit (single player mods) and I think it is better than the Bati, except top speed, because it seems to be topping out at around 130 mph when pulling a wheelie. But it even glides very well, as I was able to fly over the marina from the storm drain stunt jump on the first attempt. However, I just don't see how a marginal performance difference could be worth the ridiculous price difference.

 

By the way, I believe the Reever is even better than the Shinobi -- at least when pulling a wheelie. I got to over 165 mph with it on the piece of highway where Broughy does his speed test. 🤨

Kinda disappointed with the lack of customization on the bike, especially for the price tag. Feels like it's the Lynx all over again somewhat.

[AUScowboy]

Go to use it in the vehicle repo contract. Even without upgrades it feels pretty good, the price is typical R* but oh well, it’s a bike I’ve asked for going back a few years now. The model is very nice, and at least a few of the liveries are decent (although some more race liveries based on Moto GP would have been nice). Probably won’t use this too much as I’m still too ass blasted over the tuners being ruined to bother turning on this game.

[éX-Driver]

Shame the mirrors and plateholder can’t be removed. 

[HamwithCheese]

More than a shotaro?! Slower than one I bet with probably the same amount of customization. What the f*ck are these guys thinking?

Not a single bike on this game will ever be better than the Bati in every regard, the bike is just way too good and you cannot find a better bang for the buck than it.

[crsN]

This motorcycle is fine but I don't know if it's worth the price tho.

Well, Broughy's track is the most recognizable among the racing/testing community so it's pretty much the go-to for analyzing vehicle performance.

Ha! I thought I was the only H2R fan on here. Awesome. They pretty much got the looks, albeit it with every generic superbike bits here and there, but it's a shame they didn't add the 5 point star chrome wheels, the sexiest bike wheels ever. The white/ black and red colours used in the missions reminds of the colours and style of the old Yamaha FJ1200 from way back.

 

I hadn't seen the original pics of this so I am over the moon I can get rid of those hideous twin pipes. I've ridden it a dozen times in contract missions. I also hope there is a tail tidy option to get rid of the mudguard and screen tinting too. It feels like it will be competative from what I've seen. It holds wheelies beautifully. Suspension bounce is a bit over the top, but whatever.

 

I watched the H2R vid again last night on YT of the 248mph in 26 secs run over the bridge in Turkey. Mental.

 

I'll be buying 5 at least and painting, painting, painting.

Having ridden it a bunch of times it feels when fully modded it will reduce the Bati and anything else.

There are 3 different exhausts, and 2 of them come as single or double, so 5 options total. Kinda generic looking but I like one of the single options.

 

That's all the body parts that can be exchanged though, not counting wheels. For anything else the only options are: primary color, secondary color, carbon, or half-primary/half-carbon.

Edited December 28, 2021 by SummerFreeze

[éX-Driver]

Several of the livery options are based on real Ninja graphics options throughout the years. The black one is a modern Ninja graphic, and there’s a chequerboard one based on mid-90s Ninjas. I think the paint splatter one is a reference to the purple and green colour scheme Kawasaki used in the 80s and 90s, too

[TheLordMarvel]

So glad we're getting a modern superbike
