The Maibatsu Sanchez is a dirt bike that appears throughout the Grand Theft Auto series, including Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online and Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar added the Sanchez 2 to GTA Online's Southern San Andreas Super Autos catalogue with the Beach Bum update.1

Beginning with Grand Theft Auto V, Maibatsu manufactures the Sanchez in the HD Universe. Rockstar's My Maibatsu Capture job centers on gangs stealing shipments of Sanchez dirt bikes from the Maibatsu Factory.2

A Sanchez also appears beside a Nagasaki Blazer as riders pass through a Leonida neighborhood in GTA VI Trailer 1.3

Overview

Design and Inspiration

The early Sanchez closely resembles Yamaha's 1980 XT250, sharing its slim dual-sport frame, high front fender and long-travel suspension.4 The GTA V model has the sharper bodywork and competition-focused proportions of late-2000s motocross bikes such as the Yamaha YZ450F.5

Locations

In GTA V and GTA Online, the Sanchez can be found around Blaine County and used in off-road races. In GTA V, players can also use cheat codes to spawn the Sanchez.
