Great for getting the Achievement/trophy Wheelie rider.
The Akuma is very good for races, specifically races in the city as Its max top speed can be reached quite quickly without leaning forward. When done right, you are able to perform more complex stunts and tricks.
Having a short wheelbase allows for the Akuma to take stunt jumps more effectively, the reason for this is due to the rotation control/speed you get when in the air. The Akuma was released alongside GTA V back in 2013 and remains one of the fastest bikes available, fitted with a 4-cylinder engine and a short wheel frame for easier wheelies (wheelies make your bikes faster) making this bike the most ideal for new players.
