Sanchez

The Maibatsu Sanchez is a two-seat dirt bike in the Motorcycles class. It carries the late-2000s Japanese off-road bike shape used by the GTA IV version, with influences from the Yamaha YZ450F, Kawasaki KX450F and Honda CRF450X. Its off-road chassis has a high stance, long-travel suspension, wire wheels and knobby tyres. White fork legs and rear side covers sit beside worn black-and-yellow Sanchez and GP-450 graphics, while Maibatsu branding appears around the body.

The Sanchez can be bought for $8,000. It also appears on streets in suburban and rural parts of the world. The machine is light, and its soft suspension and ground clearance suit uneven ground better than road-focused motorcycles. It is not especially quick beside sport bikes such as the PCJ 600, but it keeps its speed and control well once it leaves the tarmac. Its turning and low weight make it easy to place through rough terrain.

The Sanchez is used for off-road travel, stunt riding and Off-roads races. It can pull wheelies effectively, gaining speed from them at higher pace, but it is a poor choice for standard Motorcycle races and can struggle on courses built around large jumps. The bike is fragile, so direct impacts can disable it or throw its rider. It uses a kickstart animation when mounted, despite the sound of an electric starter as the engine turns over.
