New BMW Police bike

[Da Bird]

For those of you that are interested, here are a couple of pics of the new BMW R1150 Police Bike. This is the one I rode during my 2 day course last week and hopefully my new one wont be too far away.

Definitely different from the Honda ST1100 - some good points and bad points but overall not a bad bike. Extremely comfortable seat - we did about 750kms over a day and a half and there was no pain!

There are apparently 500 of these in use in the USA and they carry radar and laser guns on their ones... the new bike boss in Wellington will be looking into putting radar units on the NZ bikes at some stage.

Life can't be too bad if you are getting paid to ride a bike eh!

[spudchucka]

I was on a SOCO course a couple of weeks ago and saw they had a couple of little XR Hondas in the garage. Did you guys have wheelie assessment or something?,

[gav]

Shouldnt the POLICE bit at the front be ECILOP so you can read it in your rear view mirror?

[Mr Skid]

Not a bad office you've got there. Does it do a good wheelie?

[Da Bird]

I was on a SOCO course a couple of weeks ago and saw they had a couple of little XR Hondas in the garage. Did you guys have wheelie assessment or something?,
No, we didn't do any off-roading. Next year they will be running 2 week courses for cops interested in becoming bike cops and they will do off-road stuff during that course. The 2 days was just to familiarise ourselves with the new BM.

[Da Bird]

Probably should but I don't have any say on the stickers - sorry about that but hopefully the really bright new red and blue LED flashing strobe lights will catch your attention.

[Da Bird]

Not a bad office you've got there. Does it do a good wheelie?
um, well, probably would given half a chance but I didn't really want to get kicked off the course... its a friggin heavy bike, over 400kgs fully loaded with fuel, panniers full etc.

[WINJA]

I HOPE THERE UNRELIABLE AND SLOW AND CRASH EASY

[Hooks]

Bugger me !! and I thought my bitch was heavy ... :pinch: Methinks it would take some stopping too .... ;)

[riffer]

Crikey BC that's a pretty wide bike you got there. I'm not too sure if I'd be keen to try and lanesplit through the traffic in that one.

How do you think it will go in a stiff sideways breeze too? As for weight, it looks more like 220-230 kilos, with maybe another 30 on board...

Seat looks nice and comfy.

Congrats anyway. At least there's still some police on the road that can relate to what it's like to ride on our roads.

[DarkNinja]

Nice looking bike, looks rather comfy, ive always liked the looks of cop bikes, i hope you can catch some cagers that reckon they can outrun the cops :P

[erik]

400kg!? :gob:

celticno6 that thought came to my mind too, that it doesn't look like it would fit between the cars.
But I guess the sirens might make the cars move aside a bit...

[Da Bird]

i hope you can catch some cagers that reckon they can outrun the cops :P
I'm sure I will be able to do that although being in a chase on a bike in Auckland is pretty scary to be honest - everything is happening at what seems like 10 times the pace, you are trying to use your left index finger to use the radio at the same time as the clutch and then you have all those crazy cage drivers to worry about coz they don't know where to go! Gets a bit crazy at times.

Yeah, I was a bit shocked when the instructor started talking about 400kgs as well but I'm just going on what he said... all I know is I wont be picking it up by myself that's for sure. And will definitely have to watch the mirrors if I'm in a hurry... at least they just pop back in!

Hehe, I want to be a bike cop, it's not fair lol...

[Mr Skid]

So BC, when are you going to be bringing it on a KB ride?

I'm sure we could do with a police escort at the front instead of at the back for a change..

[sedge]

I saw a group of 4 bike cops driving down by the WLG police college on Monday when it was really freaking windy... Oh yeah, that looked like fun :/ Wobbling all over the place...

So was I of course... And I thought MY bike was a whale with a sail... Those guys didn't look happy... and they didn't wave back... Have some freaking courtesy for fecks sake, we're all bikers.

Unless of course 'evil bike boss' was on the first bike and leading his ducklings.

Sedge.

Can't wait till one comes up for auction ;)

[Two Smoker]

Nice BC, Nodman was saying he likes the R1150 alot more than the ST1100...... what are the pluses and minuses????

Have the Police finally forked out the cash for the radios???

[bear]

Maybe the weight of 400kg quoted includes the cop as well (haha)

[dhunt]

Are they actually many bike Cops around?? I've only ever seen them once in palmy, and there was three of them doing what looked like some sort of training.

There aren't any based in P.Nth. They tend to be utilised on city motorways mainly.

There are only about 25 operational bikes throughout the country with the majority (about 17) based in Auckland, a handful in Wellington and the rest scattered around the North Island. There are none in the South Island. The Police College has 4 BMW's for training and 4 motor cross bikes.

[FROSTY]

Hmm concept -fit panniers and flashing lights to ya personal ride and sneak ot on patrol. Im sure the bosses wouldn't notice :innocent:
Ohhh hang on Ol Yogi martin did that years ago--convinced panmure council that the VFR700 would be a perfect patrol bike. -Bugger--It needed High speed testing at Pukie ......

[Coyote]

Conivince your bosses to get a fleet of Hayabusas. Those boy racers wouldn't have a chance :devil:

[SPORK]

Just wondering, and I probably sound stupid, but why are police bikes always so damn heavy and large? Wouldn't nimble, fast bikes hunt cages better?

[John]

Just wondering, and I probably sound stupid, but why are police bikes always so damn heavy and large? Wouldn't nimble, fast bikes hunt cages better?
So they can smash us off the road, and take on large trucks...

or somthing of the manner

(I joke!, or do I?...bum bum buumm)

[Two Smoker]

Can you imagine riding a CBR600RR all day???? Hell no, you would need a chiropractor :wacko: :crazy:

[thehollowmen]

I HOPE THERE UNRELIABLE AND SLOW AND CRASH EASY

That isn't very nice

If they crash easy bikes will be deamed unsafe and we can expect even more levies...

I hope they do their job, and I'd much rather be pulled over by a cop than have a anonomous piece of paper turn up in the letter box.

[rodgerd]

Just wondering, and I probably sound stupid, but why are police bikes always so damn heavy and large? Wouldn't nimble, fast bikes hunt cages better?

I think you'll find they carry shitloads of gear - first aid kits and the like. You wouldn't want to be the cop who arrives first at a crash and stand there with your dick in your hands, after all.

[Jamezo]

None in the South Island, huh? Thats a real shame, that, .....real shame......all these good roads, too......











woohoo

[Da Bird]

woohoo
:scooter:

Yes, but I do believe there are several pretty quick Subaru and Mitsi 4x4's in the South Island...

[Da Bird]

Just wondering, and I probably sound stupid, but why are police bikes always so damn heavy and large? Wouldn't nimble, fast bikes hunt cages better?No, not stupid at all... I wonder myself sometimes to be honest.. the big bikes can be a pain but yes, they do have to carry a fair amount of gear including first aid kit and fire extinguisher, wet weather gear, ticket books (have to do a bit of work!) and crash reports.

In the UK, they have plain undercover police bikes such as Blackbirds complete with video camera mounted!

Now *that* would convince me to join the police force.

[magnum]

remember "CHiPs" :cool2: :whistle:

[FROSTY]

Dunno If you guys remember this far back but many years ago the CHP refused to ride their kwakka 1300 patrol bikes because the forks weren't strong enough.
Sure enough almost ever patrol bike had badly bent forks.
Kawasaki did a bunch of tests and couldn't see how it would be possible to bend forks under normal riding conditions.
The CHP reply was that -"our harleys forks dont bend"
An engineer from Kawasaki then followed 2 patrol officers for a week to figure out what was happening.
coming apon a broken down american land crab the patrol officers casually drove their bikes into the back of the car and pushed it 1/2 mile to the nearest freeway offramp.
How to explain to a cop that um bike forks aind sesighned to push 15 tonnes of american iron -summat had to give.

[RiderInBlack]

In the UK, they have plain undercover police bikes such as Blackbirds complete with video camera mounted!Now an ex one of those with the Vid still mounted would be cool for KB rides and track days:niceone: Glad it was a cop ute the other day and not one if those:sweatdrop :whistle:

Let's get one thing straight here. While most of my time is spent doing traffic work, I do attend crashes, fights, domestics, burglars on jobs and other jobs your so called "proper police" go to. I have the same training as them and where I work, a shitload more experience than most of them so before you go off the rails making stupid generalisations like that, maybe you could stick to your own stories and then let everyone decide if you are hard done by.

PS I am not old and I am not grey (or slow and unreliable either!)

[That Guy]

Hey Bykey Cop what's your opinion on this:

I was going to work recently on Esmonde road - the on ramp towards the motorway from Takapuna. Esmonde road traffic was at a stand still. It's a two lane road and I was threading my way in between - maybe doing 10-15 kph. Very slow. I didn't get a ticket but I got a bollocking over the loud speaker from a cop car stuck in the traffic: "Motorcyle splitting traffic - get back into the lane!" Those speakers are loud as! A bit embarassing too....anyway I couldn't see what his beef was.

What's your thoughts on splitting traffic? As long as your being safe about it, no issue? Or striaght into the ticket book every time? (I won't hold you to it!)

[Blackbird]

Now if they'd only let you use your Blackbird for fast pursuit! Lake District police in the UK have a few 'birds and 'blades for just that purpose!

Cheers

Geoff

[Coldkiwi]

cooor 400kgs?? thats a big beast to lump around the traffic.

As for lane splitting with lights... have you ever thought you might be safer to turn all the lights and sirens off and just ride past the cars? (I'm serious) Thats what I do and for the most part it seems safer and they're LESS likely to hit you if they don't know you're there or at least don't have a chance to panic as you go past (mind you, I ride with the light on full beam).
Ok, maybe leave the flashers on but turn the siren off and go for it. I guess you'd get into trouble for quick lane splitting without the lights on at least right? (I know I do!)

[aff-man]

Man how much do they cost. What about a new ducati 900ss :love: or something. Won't need the sirens cause they won't be heard over the pipes. :devil2:

[Milky]

[Pedant alert] That should read ...MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE ADDED...

Anyway it must be late if I'm correcting a troll's English.I would suggest 'Maybe I should have added' as a further correction to that. :moon:

They (the cops) were probably just jealous that you were moving and they weren't. Personally (and I have said this before somewhere on here), I don't really mind as long as other traffic is going slow and you aren't doing the speed of sound either.... obviously there are dangers and each biker has to weigh those dangers up in the circumstances but unless I thought it was dangerous, I wouldn't chase you... (or scream over the loudspeaker). There have to be some advantages in having a bike in peak hour....

Yeah, tend to agree with you there and depending on how fast or how much weaving I'm doing (and traffic density) will determine for me what is on and what's not... people do panic and sometimes its much easier watching them panic after you have got past them.

[enigma51]

(or scream over the loudspeaker). There have to be some advantages in having a bike in peak hour....

I must be honest with the few cops I have spoken to I always get a different opinion about the lane splitting thing. The "bike" cops are nicer about these things than the others.

Back to the subject 400kg's!!!!!!! F me thats heavy how long does it take to get to hmmmm 100.

And sorry to say this but why a bmw there are faster "comfortable" bikes out there.

But to be fair I envy you. (Yeah I know I cant spell).

And for that other dude that said he wished you fall off. fuck you for that dude one dont say things like that about fellow bikers even if you dont like them. :argh:

[badlieutenant]

Sounds like the problem there isnt the cops but the people who tell the cops what to do with thier time. Write a letter to your MP. There is a massive thread here somewhere on the whole debate on police accountability regarding thier time and effectiveness, have a read.

on a different note................any of the cops on KB know of a blackbird (blue) sitting in a motocycle shop in south auckland ? :D front end damage from rapid rear end on cage..............owned by a cop........im just curious. There is a name to go on but only the first and it might not be any of the cops from KB..............

Only seen 2 cop bikers (going the other way). Gave them a wave and they waved back. :scooter: :scooter:

For those of you that are interested, here are a couple of pics of the new BMW R1150 Police Bike. This is the one I rode during my 2 day course last week and hopefully my new one wont be too far away.

That's a pretty good looking bike...

I was walking past the police garage in Hobson St the other day and two bike cops rode out side by side, and just as they did - I am not making this up - my iPod kicked into the CHiPs theme song. It was incredibly surreal, I just started laughing to myself, as I watched them right up Hobson and turn right.

Go Poncho!

[igor]

Nice BC, Nodman was saying he likes the R1150 alot more than the ST1100...... what are the pluses and minuses????

NODMAN says he likes a BMW. I'll frame those words.

BMW R1150RT bike V Jappa. get a real rider on it and I will put my monet on the RT thru a set of twisties. Telelever is just superb, the brakes are awesome and the twin just pulls like a schoolgirl on her first date.
