The biker cops can thank their lucky stars that Holden and Ford don't make bikes!

I saw a Bikey Cop outside my house just off the harbour bridge the other day. He was on an ST1300. Is this the standard issue bike or do they have BMW's as well?

I say give em the BMW's!!! A happy cop is a good cop.

the cops should dress up some sport thou's like K6 and R1s for highway use. That'd scare most runners..

If you saw a bike cop on an ST1300 then it was a one-off. The cops used to ride ST1100s but are fazing/have fazed these out in preference for a BMW outfit.

The Poms, however, have seen the light http://groups.msn.com/ST1300US/ukpol...nw?albumlist=2

Sorry, my mistake. It must have been a ST1100s. I only saw the front and presumed it was a 1300.

And the little storage bay behind the seat will keep the dounuts warm! However, I think their asses would be raw after spending a full shift on a Fireblade.

**bugjuice** · 9th January 2006, 15:38

yeah, but given a bike like that, wouldn't it tempt you to be a cop?

**loosebruce** · 9th January 2006, 15:39

**nudemetalz** · 9th January 2006, 15:40

I remember back in '87. In Auckland they trialled a couple of GPz900 mufti bikes. Basically looked stock (even paintjobs) but for a little box and light on the back.
Dunno what ever happend about that.
