What exactly is the bike, other than FAST?

**Zuki Bandit** · 22nd March 2008, 17:48

The Polish Police use CBR1000RRs with hardly any crap on them eg panniers etc

"It's not what you ride, it's how you ride. .. if you put a rocket ship under a chimp all he can do is hang on." bike cop that was an MOT bike cop.

That being said, our bike cops are pretty well trained, i would hate to see them on one of those tho, i'd be trying to pull "them" over to have a perv ... ha ha

Sorry I disagree, our bike cops do (and always have)need more m/cycle training. And cops in Europe generally are VERY well trained.

nice find!

Don't worry... first corner and the cop will be stuffed. I rode one of these, and found it terrible around corners. Put a bit of speed into it, it wants to run wide and requires serious input to even keep it on a half decent line, and its extremely reluctant to change line.

It does have serious punch off the line tho, was quite impressed for its weight etc.

jeez, what a whale!

i'd laugh my arse off if our cops had to ride those mongrels: they'd only ever catch the worst ulysseus riders and would never have a shit show catching anyone who was any good around a bend.

A very nice looking bike.

If they weren't so powerful, I would want one.

Such a bike would never be able to stay with any 250cc trials bike around Auckland.
