GTA Online's newest motorcycle, the Western Reever, was forged from references to Keanu Reeves and Cyberpunk 2077.

The name itself is pretty telling. Rockstar showed admiral restraint in stopping just short of calling this bike the Keanu Reever, but you still don't have to dig very deep on that front. That said, the body of the bike is a tidy little Easter egg in its own right.

Though there are a few notable differences, the Reever is a pretty faithful recreation of the Arch Nazare. I'd wager that the color scheme in its promo art isn't a coincidence, either. Rockstar describes it as "the convergence of decades of innovation in the fields of engineering, aerodynamics, and reckless abandon atop two wheels," which seems like the kind of description that ol' Johnny Silverhand would approve of.
