    metabo.jpg There's a video of female officers doing coordinated riding on their VFRs floating about too. Probably saw it here a while back. Yeah, I need to get back to work...

    I would love to see a sixth gen police bike. Then I would love to see how they handle the everyday things we deal with such as R/R issues and High heat in traffic. I'm sure a police bike has heavy duty items we don't see. It would be great to see how they solve these problems on the police bike!

    Then, where can we get police bike heavy duty parts?

    I wonder if Honda's Police package is made year after year with the same styling but newer improved engineering? Something like those old taxi cabs years ago. I do know that for police cars, the only real difference is brake, suspension and transmission. Otherwise the car is the same as you and I can buy off the showroom floor. Matter of fact, I think civilians can buy brand new Police Package cars.

    I don't think we have any VFRW members from Japan here that can find out for us. I have a good friend over there who may be able to point me in the direction to find out Maggot. I will see what I can do.

    I have watched videos of Japanese police on these bikes at trials. It is amazing how they maneuver these heavy bikes as if they were Honda 50s. I suspect theirs is even heavier than ours.
