Grand Theft Auto Online (GTA Online) is an open world game based on same map as Grand Theft Auto 5.
One of the main reason GTA Online has become an expensive game is the number of high-priced vehicles. Grinding takes a very long time and the Shark cards are not a great option either. Cash Cards are a form of micro transaction, and using in-game “Shark” branding and offer a different level of GTA$.

Bati 801
It costs only $15,000 and the upgrades will take you around $45,700. It is incredible that for such a low price and decent performance upgrades cost you can get a motorcycle with very good results for lap time and top speed. Has 2 seats as well and it ranks 5th for Lap Time and 4th for Top Speed.
You can surely get better cars if you have a much bigger budget, however, this is the smallest amount of money you can spend for a garage full of vehicles that will get the job done in most situations and let you save some cash for other purchases.
Buying best cheap cars and waiting to see what you can buy with a bigger amount of money is the best strategy when playing GTA Online.
