For the first time in the Grand Theft Auto gaming series the motorbike Western Motorcycle Company Sovereign appeared in the fourth part, and, to be more precise, in the addon for GTA 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is worth mentioning, that the name Sovereign is much more frequently used only regards to the civilian variant of the bike, which was added only in the fifth part of the series as a part of the "The Independence day Special" update, before there was only a police variant of the motorcycle - Police Bike. It suffered no changes visually as it was transferred from the fourth to the fifth part of the GTA, except for the removal of siren in the exchange of more LEDs.
As it was already mentioned, initially there was no civilian variant, only a police one. Police Bike has no differences when compared to Sovereign except for painting.
The motorbike Western Motorcycle Company Sovereign/Police Bike is very special thanks to it's complete regularity (pardon for nonsense), as all of it's technical characteristics are pretty much average, except for the brakes being excellent. The true strong side of Western Motorcycle Company Sovereign is it's durability - it can withstand much more damage than other motorcycles in the game. Sovereign/Police Bike is the third motorbike in GTA 5, which can not be bought at cars' retailer websites, but can be met in traffic and at special places.
The prototype of the motorbike is Harley-Davidson Road King FLHP.
