Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #14 All of the non Harley police bikes I've seen have been the R1200RT.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #21 mostly publicity - in the UK we have a national Bikesafe programe run by local authorities. The police are funded by the local authority. They contribute to and often deliver the courses. You will see these bikes on static displays where they try to sign up people from the course. You will probably find the local Yamaha dealer there as well as they will milk the company's relationship with police forces to get in the papers, although things seem to be going BMWs way again, after the Japanese dominating for many years. |

There was a fully marked Fireblade doing the rounds many years ago and forces were encouraged to give it a go. Honda also agreed to provide me with an unmarked Blackbird with covert lights and sirens, but someone higher than me put a stop to it before I got my hands on it. |

Here in my area of NC, over the years, I've seen the police use 1100 Kawasaki, then Harley, then presently the BMW RT. |

Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #24 I wonder if if any of the Kawasakis are still doing duty?

Zitat von acdlearspot im Beitrag #28I believe the Kawi's they are talking about are from the 70's and 80's air cooled 1000 cc. I've seen a couple of later model Concours 14 set up for Constables but I believe they are rare. Frank

Correct Frank. The Kawi's were the 1000/1100cc air cooled 80's bikes. Had an '82 LTD1000 myself. Many moons ago, the Kawi & Suzuki 1000/1100 were the drag race norm and quite fun to throw money at |
