The Lost MC variant of the Western Motorcycle Company Daemon is a cruiser motorcycle in The Lost and Damned, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design[]
The Lost and Damned[]
The Daemon is designed as a cruiser motorcycle based on a customized Harley Davidson FXDB Sturgis.
The front section of the bike features an inverted set of chromed forks with black finish on the end of the fork legs and the triple tree clamps. The lower clamp holds a single circular headlight above and two smaller bullet-style turn signals beside it, while the upper tree holds apehanger handlebars with short risers.
The main body of the bike features a dual lower frame finished in black, forward foot controls, a fuel tank on the front, a square-shaped battery box and a small black leather seat for the rider. The engine bay features an air filter and a set of two-into-two exhaust pipes on the right side, while a transmission cover is seen on the left.
The rear section consist of a curved fender and chromed fender struts on either side, mounting a black pillion pad for the passenger, an oval-shaped red taillight and license plate on the end of the rear fender, and turning lights on either side frame. The rear wheel is connected to the rest of the bike by a swingarm with a grey finish, having dual suspension springs attached to the side struts and the corresponding chain drive, cover and sprocket on the left. Two additional foot pegs are seen above the swingarm, intended for the passenger.
The Daemon can be seen in two different variations: The first one features a circular air filter and two silver independent exhaust pipes, while the second one features a teardrop-shaped air filter and black shotgun-style exhaust pipes. The Daemon is commonly seen with a ghost flame decal that is determined by the primary color, with the fuel tank, oil tank and rear fender painted with the secondary color (always set to black). It uses the same wire rims also shared with bikes like the Freeway and the Wolfsbane and is fitted with medium-profile tires, with the rear one being slightly wider.
The Daemon was originally meant to appear as the Deamon in Grand Theft Auto IV, as it is featured in the game's screen shots and a beta version of its file exists in the PC version of the original game. The bike assumes a more standard paint scheme with no decal, and features a small front fender, a smaller headlight and more curved handlebars with handbrakes. The fuel tank was smaller and has the corresponding WMC logos, while the oil tank was finished in silver and features "Daemon" badges on it. The rear light and license plate are mounted on the end of the rear fender rather than behind the pillion pad. Interestingly, the rear sprocket is missing.
Grand Theft Auto V[]
The Daemon returned in Grand Theft Auto V with the same design as in TLAD, this time featuring fully-chromed fork legs and triple clamps, dark tan handlebar grips, dark tan seats embroidered with the Lost MC insignia and yellow springs, as well as a teardrop-shaped air filter and silver independent exhaust pipes. The rear fender, brake calipers, tail light and license plate appear to be reused from the TLAD iteration of the Wayfarer, as well as several components available as modifications, being the Chrome Mirror, Custom Tank & Speedo, Seat Tassels, Rear Seat and Sissy Bar. The stock exhaust matches the dual exhaust pipes sometimes seen on the Wayfarer; though the Wayfarer's single exhaust is omitted. The vehicle also incorporates a single "Chopper Bike" speedometer dial in the enhanced version, also used on bikes like the Bagger and the Police Bike.
The primary color of the bike is applied on the ghost flame decals of the fuel tank, while the secondary color is applied on the ones from the rear area. It uses a set of black rims similar to the "Bobber" rims available in Los Santos Customs and medium-profile tires, with the rear one being slightly wider.

Performance[]
The Lost and Damned[]
The Daemon is a rather heavy motorcycle with moderately good speed and having a further stopping distance similar to the Angel. However, it has higher acceleration rate, at the cost of high degree of oversteer, so players should he careful when driving at high speeds.
The Daemon uses a chain-driven, V-twin internal combustion engine with a 5-speed manual transmission, as evidenced by the foot-actuated gear shifter. The engine sound is very low revving and odd-firing, possibly attributed to being either completely or partially unrestricted.

Gears | Engines | Drivetrain (FWD / RWD / AWD) |
Mass (kg / lbs) |

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Daemon has similar statistics to the Hexer in terms of acceleration and top speed. However, it has great steering capabilities, able to take corners easily with no sights of oversteer compared to its TLAD rendition, although it may suffer from slight understeer at higher speeds. Braking is average.
Again, the Daemon uses a chain-driven, V-twin internal combustion engine with a 4-speed manual transmission, as evidenced by the foot-actuated gear shifter. It has a low-revving, odd-firing engine sound that is also shared with the Hexer.
Installing the "Rear Seat" modification will increase its traction slightly, in the same way as a spoiler.

During the course of GTA V, it has become one of the primary bikes used by the Los Santos chapter of The Lost MC.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- In GTA Online, Daemons appearing during missions and gang attacks involving The Lost MC cannot be made into a personal vehicle. The Daemon does, however, frequently appear roaming the streets, and can be made into a personal vehicle. There are no visual differences between those used during missions and those appearing on the streets.

If the player eliminates the bikers, he will be asked to escort the woman back to her place. During the trip the player will encounter more members of The Lost MC riding on Daemons. The bike can be obtained by killing the members and stealing it.
