The PCJ 600 is a motorcycle featured in the 3D Universe and HD Universe. In the HD Universe, the PCJ 600 is manufactured by Shitzu.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the name is written as PCJ-600, with a hyphen.
Design[]
3D Universe[]
The PCJ 600 is a sports bike with an aerodynamic design. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, it resembles a late 80s Suzuki GSX. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it is similar to GTA Vice City/GTA Vice City Stories versions, with a few changes. In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the bike receives a facelift that provides the vehicle with a more modernized appearance, like an early 90s Yamaha 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 the GTA Liberty City Stories version having a secondary-colored portion on the lower side.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the PCJ 600 has been redesigned into a streetfighter, resembling a Honda CB400 Super Four and Triumph Speed Triple.
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 and Online[]
In Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, the PCJ 600 retains the design from GTA 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 in Los 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 the GTA San Andreas rendition, the PCJ 600 is one of the fastest bikes; in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, it is tied with the Angel. Overall performance is exceptional, except in handling — high-speed impacts often result in being thrown from the bike, resulting in severe injury or even death instantly. It requires more traction to balance the performance. In GTA San Andreas, the PCJ-600 is no longer the fastest bike, as it is outpaced by the NRG-500 and FCR-900.

Grand Theft Auto IV[]
The PCJ 600 in GTA 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, the NRG 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.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The PCJ 600 in GTA 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 from GTA 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 the Sanchez.

Trivia[]
3D Universe[]
- During development of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, there was going to be a golden PCJ-600. This PCJ also seemed to be identical to the GTA Vice City/GTA Vice City Stories versions.
- In GTA Liberty City Stories, some of the Liberty 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 and Online[]
- It is possible to modify the bike in GTA 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 the Sanchez, the Zentorno (original version), the Ruffian, the Bagger, the Akuma, the Double-T and the Dune Buggy, although it could be argued the latter is not supposed to be a road-legal vehicle.
- The badges on the rear read PCJ675, which is inconsistent with the bike's name.
Oversights[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- In the enhanced version of Grand 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.
