RELATED: Nintendo Switch RPGs You Should Play If You Like Cyberpunk 2077For the speed junkies or players looking for something fast enough to evade pursuit, they need to know which motorcycles are the fastest. Here’s every motorcycle in Cyberpunk 2077, ranked by their top speed and how to get them.
Updated on October 26th, 2021 by Hodey Johns: There are many reasons to prefer motorcycles over cars in Cyberpunk 2077. While not as protected and slightly slower, they are easier to take through traffic and their lightweight build can help when V wants to catch some airtime. While all of these motorcycles can be found somewhere in Night City, a select few of them require very specific directions to obtain. This guide has been updated with some maps and directions for getting ahold of specific motorcycles that can be purchased or discovered and then become available for use on a permanent basis.
8 Brennan Apollo Basic – 137 mph
The Brennan Apollo Basic is easily the most boring motorcycle on the list and that’s by design. Meant to serve as a cheap means of transportation for a single rider it’s the epitome of Entropistic style. It has a top speed of 136 mph.
There’s nothing too impressive about the game, but beginners who are still learning the basics will enjoy learning by crashing this starter model instead of a nice and expensive motorcycle.
How To Obtain The Brennan Apollo Basic
Despite being the cheap option for NPCs it’s unobtainable for the player short of stealing it. For players who, for whatever reason, really love this bike, it’s the default choice for motorists in Night City, so stealing one shouldn’t be too hard.
7 Brennan Apollo – 137 mph
The Brennan Apollo is pretty much the Basic model with a coat of paint. It has the same top speed of 137 mph. The coat of paint certainly makes it look a little more appealing, but it’s still a generic motorcycle meant for the struggling middle class.
There are several glitches and exploits in the latest patch but don’t blink twice at the identical stats, there are several cars and motorcycles that are reskins of other cars and motorcycles.
How To Obtain The Brennan Apollo
If players want this bike, they’ll need to be in Heywood with a Street Cred level of 30. They’ll be contacted by a Fixer who’s willing to sell it for $94,000. That kind of money can buy a really fast car so the player will need to really want a motorcycle or they should spend their money elsewhere.
6 Brennan Apollo “Scorpion” – 137 mph
The Scorpion is a unique paint job version of the standard Brennan Apollo. Unfortunately, the owner didn’t decide to improve the bike in any way so it’s the same 137 mph for top speed. Still, it’s a decent enough bike to get around town and this one has a custom design that might appeal to players.

Unlike getting Skippy to change modes, there is no change possible here with all of the Brennan Apollo models aside from decoration.
How To Obtain The Brennan Apollo “Scorpion”
For anyone who wants this unique bike, they’ll need to complete the story mission “Life During Wartime.” Afterward, they’ll receive the bike for free. Considering it’s a job the player needs to complete to progress the story, it’s a good way to test Motorcycles and determine if the player loves them or would prefer cars moving forward.
5 ARCH Nazare – 178 mph
The ARCH Nazare sees a speed increase from the Brennan Apollos with a top speed of 178 mph. The Nazare is the standard model and based on the real-life ARCH Method 143, produced by a company founded by Keanu Reeves.
The game describes these bikes as the kind of vehicle that makes Corpos question their life choices. Corpos are rich enough to permanently keep their own cars, but some are on the wild side and prefer a bike on Night City’s streets.
How To Obtain The ARCH Nazare
This particular model can be obtained in Westbrook if the player has a Street Cred level of 40. The increase in speed will set players back $138,000, though, making it the most expensive motorcycle on this list.
4 ARCH Nazare “Itsumade” – 178 mph
The Itsumade is a customized variant of the ARCH Nazare. Once again the changes were solely external and the bike has the same top speed of 178 mph. This particular bike was owned by a member of the Tyger Claws gang.
It’s one of the more unique-looking motorcycles on this list and is meant to strike fear in whoever sees it. The Tyger Claws have a fearsome reputation on the streets and this motorcycle has likely seen a number of these heinous and violent crimes. With some good-looking outfits, players can feel like an honorary member of the gang.
How To Obtain The ARCH Nazare “Itsumade”
This unique ride has to be secured in a unique way. Players can obtain this bike by completing the Side Job The Highwayman. The last step of the mission is to recover the Tyger Claw bike, which ends up being this one and it does not need to be turned in.
3 Jackie’s ARCH – 178 mph
This ARCH Nazare belongs to Jackie Welles, V’s mentor and friend through the prologue. The motorcycle has seen an extensive change in appearance but maintains the same top speed of 178 mph. Still, the bike looks incredible with its dark black, gold, and red coloring.

There are critical perks to every build, but as far as role-playing goes, this bike feels crucial to the story. It’s both sentimental and practical.
How To Obtain Jackie’s ARCH
For players interested in obtaining this mercenary’s bike, they’ll need to do the Side Job “Heroes.” After successfully completing the mission they’ll receive this bike for free. Arguably it’s the best ARCH Nazare in the game. Performance-wise, they’re all the same, but this one looks the snazziest.
Fun fact: If players chose the Nomad path, and commented to Jackie about his bike with a Tech skill of six or higher, V will suggest Jackie upgrades his ride. When Obtain, the bike will instead be called Jackie’s Tuned ARCH, but, statistically, it’s no different than the other.
2 Yaiba Kusanagi Tyger Claw Custom – 189 mph
The Yaiba Kusanagi Tyger Claw Custom is one of the fastest motorcycles in the game with a top speed of 189 mph. This motorcycle is a custom variant of the CT-3X owned by a member of the Tyger Claw gang. This motorcycle looks entirely different from the base model thanks to a high back seat and a more visible interior casing.
In fact, the motorcycle hardly resembles the CT-3X. Instead of the sleek racing bike, it’s more of a cruiser that retains the same speed and handling. It’s a stylish way to track down the transmission for the “Dream On” job.
How To Obtain The Yaiba Kusanagi Tyger Claw Custom
Unfortunately, this futuristic bike can only be obtained by stealing it. Or “borrowing” it from a parked location. Still, it makes for a fun, if dangerous, joy ride.
1 Yaiba Kusanagi CT-3X - 189 mph
The fastest motorcycle the player can legitimately obtain is the Yaiba Kusanagi CT-3X. It has a top speed of 189 mph only matched by the Tyger Claw Custom variant. At 189 mph it’s the 5th fastest vehicle in the game.
There have been several improvements to the game since its release, but nobody is asking for an improvement to this bike, it’s perfect as it is.
How To Obtain The Yaiba Kusanagi CT-3X
It’s by far the cheapest out of the 10 fastest cars in the game. To get it, players will need to be in Westbrook with a Street Cred level of 12 and $22,000 in their pocket. That same amount gets players the same speed as the Quadra Type-66 “Javelina” that costs $73,000. For players who like motorcycles and want the fastest there is, the CT-3X is it.
Cyberpunk 2077 was released on December 10, 2020, and is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
