Red and black cruiser

A club bike from behind in the first Ambrosia press still, with a plate that mostly reads and a full set of club colours on the rider's back. The Western Sovereign name is what a wiki calls it.

The motorcycle is a big twin cruiser in red and black, rolling away from the camera in the first of the press pack’s Ambrosia stills, with exhaust haze behind it and a second bike ahead of it on the left. The rear mudguard is deeply valanced, red down the sides and black over the top, with red flames running back across the black, and a black seat runs back over it. A chrome silencer runs out on each side of the machine, one under the left and one under the right, both ending level with the rear tyre. A rounded red tail lamp sits above the plate with an amber indicator on a short stalk either side of it, and a chrome crash bar loops around the front of the engine on the left.

The plate is the readable part, or most of it. It carries seven characters at an even spacing, and a pink flamingo is printed over the fourth: D15, then a character the bird covers, then 8A1. What shows of the covered character, a straight stem and a right-hand side, does not settle which it is, so it is not read. The line of capitals across the top of the plate and the one along the bottom are too small to read at this size. The plate on the bike ahead is a little too small as well: it falls under the twenty-pixel floor this site reads by, and so it is not claimed here. Nothing on the motorcycle itself carries a word.

The rider does. He wears a sleeveless black leather cut, his left arm bare with a chain at the wrist, and brown trousers, and the back of the cut is a full set of club colours. The centre patch is a hooded reaper, a white skull in a black hood outlined in gold, with skeletal hands holding an open book that has gold letters across its two pages. Below it sits a yellow patch with a red border and a word in red capitals, a small gold patch sits to the right of the hood, and red lettering across the shoulders is cut off by the top of the frame. Lower down sit a dark oval patch with a pale rim, a white hooded skull and lettering arcing over it that does not read, and a coloured embroidered patch to the right of it. They are the same colours the rider in the middle of this still wears. The letters on the book and on the yellow patch are too small at this distance for this site to read, and the club’s name is not on this crop.

The name others give the bike is Western Sovereign, the cruiser the Independence Day Special of 2014 added to GTA V and GTA Online: a civilian version of the police motorcycle, which the GTA Wiki traces to a Harley-Davidson Road King. The shape fits: long and low, a deeply valanced rear mudguard, a crash bar around the front of the engine. The wiki that names it also gives it a number, taken from a line of HUD text in leaked footage, and that number is not repeated here. The name sits below as an attribution with its counter-argument.

How to recognise it

• Red and black big twin, red flames running back over the black top of a deeply valanced rear mudguard
• One chrome silencer each side, ending level with the rear tyre
• Plate with seven characters, D15 and 8A1 either side of a pink flamingo printed over the fourth
• Rounded red tail lamp with an amber indicator on a stalk either side
• Chrome crash bar around the front of the engine on the left
• Rider's cut: hooded reaper over an open book, a yellow patch with red capitals below it, dark oval skull patch lower left

The frame it comes from

The frame is a still from the official Press pack, which carries no timecode. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 1113 by 1134 of it. Also in it: the Diversity'n'Treats billboard, the Ambrosia County Sheriff's Office sign, and Ambrosia.

How this was measured

These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work

What we still do not know

• The make and model. Nothing on this motorcycle is written, and the identification in circulation rests on a shape and, for its number, on leaked footage we do not use.
• The plate on the bike ahead. It looks readable, and its characters measure under our letter floor, so it is not claimed.
• The lettering across the shoulders, which the frame cuts off, on the book, on the yellow patch and on the oval patch
• Which character the flamingo covers, and what the lines along the top and bottom of the plate say
• Whether Ambrosia is a chapter, a county or both. A separate sighting shows an Ambrosia County Sheriff’s Office sign in the same still.
• Everything measured: top speed, handling, price, where it spawns

A note on this record

Rebuilt on 22 September 2026 against the 4K press still, with a reading record on the crop, and checked again on 25 September 2026 on the true pixel grid. The plate has seven characters at an even spacing, and the pink flamingo is printed over the fourth; until 25 September this page called it, from the 21st, a separator between two groups of three, and gave the number as D15 8A1. On the same day: the rider's arm is bare rather than in a brown jacket, the centre patch holds an open book rather than a banner, the oval patch is dark with a pale rim, the flames on the mudguard are red on black, the club is linked through another rider in the same still, not through a clubhouse sign, and the words on the book and the yellow patch, given as MC and AMBROSIA until 25 September, are too small to read: measured on the letters rather than on the patch, they stay under this site's floor. Earlier corrections: the AMBROSIA rocker sits under the centre patch, there is one silencer each side, there is no bag on the crash bar, and the plate on the bike ahead is under the reading floor.
