Shinobi

“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.”

—Legendary Motorsport description

The Nagasaki Shinobi is a sports bike featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Contract update.

Influence

The bike's overall design is a mix of Kawasaki Ninja models, including the 2013-2017 250R (EX250-L/EX250-M) and the 1000SX. The fairing vents are inspired by the 2008-2012 250R (EX250-J) with the headlights inspired by the 1000SX. The tank, frame, and exhaust are heavily influenced by the 2016–2020 ZX-10R, while the brake light is reminiscent of that of the 2009–2012 ZX-6R.

Liveries

The "Race Lucky" livery added with the Bottom Dollar Bounties update is based on the Suzuki RGV250 VJ23 Lucky Strike.

Design

The bike is depicted as a sports motorbike with a distinctively aerodynamic design, featuring a front mudguard mounted on the forks, while the upper area assumes a similarly-shaped fairing like the Thrust, with dual headlamps, a small windscreen with black supports, and black rear-view mirrors mounted on each side of the fairing, with amber indicators on the front. Near the upper plate, there is a rectangular section with the "Sports Bike" dial set, as well as two independent handlebars.

The main body is mainly composed of a black frame and a painted body with large vents in the middle, as well as a lower fairing with smaller vents and a large-sized fuel tank with a silver cap on top. The engine bay is mostly covered by the body panels, having a clutch cover and a large exhaust tube on the right, the latter with black detail. The foot pegs for the rider can be seen on the lower section of the black frame.

The rear section consists of a grey seat and foot pegs for the passenger that are mounted on the rear section of the aforementioned frame, while the rear fairing houses red tail lamps on the end. A black frame extends from below the rear fairing and has amber indicators mounted on each side and the number plate in the centre. The rear wheel is connected by a black swing-arm that is supported by a single suspension spring, fitted with a long protector on the upper side of the left chain drive.

The primary colour of the bike is applied to the entirety of its bodywork, while the secondary colour is applied to the front fork legs. It retains the same 7-spoke rim design similar to the "Racer" rims available in mod shops, albeit finished in a silver/alloy colour.

Performance

The performance of the bike is great, as it poses a high top speed, quick acceleration and a stable riding platform.

It is one of the bikes that has a top speed of 120mph and with it being stable and grippy, players can slalom between traffic without a fear of hitting vehicles whilst in-between them.

It is the perfect choice for racing, as the bike can handle with ease even the toughest and sharpest corners with just a simple tap of the brake and directions. Coupled with the ease of controls, it even outshines the Bati 801 in racing situations.

The Shinobi has a hidden, unlisted fifth engine performance upgrade. ^[1]
- Although functional, this upgrade cannot be obtained without the use of glitches.

Liveries that include the logos on the rear-side seat are horizontally mirrored on both sides, even though they are displayed correctly on their original texture files^[2]. This issue can also be seen on the bike's promotional advert.
- This issue does not occur on the liveries added with the Bottom Dollar Bounties update.
The front brake disks are slightly offset from the centre.
