Well it would certainly make the opening titles of "The Bill" a bit different.

Bloody hell, how are you meant to catch anyone on those

Hondas would be easy meat. They might struggle to catch a mighty GN though.

Actually, you'd need to make sure that you went up the stairs, you would probably find that they go down stairs quite well. Apparently they remain quite level, but a little bumpy.

Ha ha, they are actually considering those for use in Christchurch. Sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh if I saw one of those chasing someone!!

Advanced rider training at manfield? have to ask a copper type, but that is where my mates who have been there done that, did it.

Commodores...not Beamers...(quick look could confuse some...) it is a Govt Department you know, why would they fork out $$$ for Beamers...were they Bananas in pajamas colours?

I think Mr jackrat meant BMW motorcycles. The bikie cops are now using BMWs. Except for one contrary, stick in the mud bearded old troglodyte who insists on sticking with some funny Honda thingie.

Damn troglodyte, all the others happily piss away taxpayer dollars wth exhorbitant parts and services, (and matching bmw handbags) while all the people I spoke to involved in the testing program when the tender went out were sure the honda was going to win, citing its manuevreability, availability of parts, ergonomics, speed, service life and comparitive price.
As is the way with Government departments, after taking the recommendations of all involved in the test group, read Honda ST, and so on, and so on, the police take delivery of a whole bunch of new shiny beemers...
Bet some beaurocrat somewhere is driving a nice new cheap 7 series, a nice loyalty incentive in our incorruptable society....

Bit like most things... don't listen to the front line, just do what we want.
"Trialled the Hondas, they work well, well liked, etc etc... lets go for Beemers."
Stab resistant vests...lets "trial them" here. WTF???? Didn't anyone trial them overseas, thats why they use em????
