    Mufti police bikes, are they real?

    Heard through the grape vine that a friend of a friend was pulled over by a mufti police bike. Pretty sketchy on the details but I was told it was unmarked and had the blue and red lights. Has anyone seen this before?

    not me.. doesnt entirely sound feasible.

    I have been pulled over by a policeman in his own car though (going to or from work).

    More likely to the walking sticks that he is using at the moment.

    He has a reputation of chasing down the alleged offenders now ... bionic knees may be of some help in this regard in a few weeks ...

    Dont see why they would'nt.. the UK several area's (divisions) have things like Hayabusa's in 'mufti'.. why would'nt the NZ Police think similar?

    If they dont they should - they would be able to catch a lot of txting drivers while filtering through traffic. I see drivers playing on their phones while driving just about every day.

    Used to see the odd one up on the firebreaks above Wainui/Lower Hutt as a kid. They were *armed* with XL and XT250's. Was great fun when armed with an RM400! :-)

    If they saw half as many as I do on the commute to work we could pay off the national debt :P

    Haven't seen any of the new ones but this isn't new. I remember seeing some in the late 80's early 90's, the bikes I remember seeing where a GSXR1100 and early CBR1000f with lights and sirens. Didn't go ahead with they as they where supposedly to expensive to maintain or so the policeman I was talking to told me.
