When you want reliable transportation leave the Harley at the house

I started with a 47 Indian and progressed through Harleys and rice rockets before arriving at my first BMW. From 77 to 2001, I racked up miles on 3 different BMWs. If I ever ride again, it will certainly be a BMW. The most trouble free bikes I have ever experienced.

Is that parked next to a Harley??
Bet that BMW can move nice and fast

Yes that is a Harley next to it. OHP still uses HD's as well. So does Moore PD.

You know it's all about the job you need to do, thus the tool you use. The touring bikes are great scoots, but they do have a time and a place. No one will disagree the Harley can't catch up with a Busa, but then again, I'd like to see an OHP keep up with a skilled Busa rider.. That really isn't the issue anyway.. I'd bet the state put out a bid request and some BMW dealer undercut the Harley dealer... The state is a lowest bidder wins agreement. Or the best under the table deal..

For fast pursuits and handling, the BMW will drive circles around a Harley touring bike. It's about the best tool for the job and it makes better sense for them to be in Kawasaki's and BMW's than the Harleys.

I'm sure all the American workers at the Harley plants in THE U.S. appreciate our tax dollars going to this. I don't begrudge someone owning one, I do have an issue with tax dollars going to Germany, Austria, China, & Taiwan for this. I'm surprised our POTUS isn't in a Lexus limo by now. Sorry, when there are options, this makes me sick.

By the way, I have owned my Heritage for 4 years with not a single issue. Unlike the old days, when was the last time you saw one broke down on the side of the road?

Go ahead, flame on!

I'm sure the AMERICAN workers in the Lincoln, Nebraska Kawasaki plant that produced the old KZ100p motorcycles, felt that way too, when Harley-Davidson came in and offered cheap lease and purchase plans to get the Police forces to change over.....1

Besides the eventual oil puddle from the final drive leak.

Motorcycle officers dont really do pursuits, if they have someone take off on them they will chase until back-up in cars get involved and then back off for safety reasons.

The point of police motorcycles is not to win high speed pursuits. Most people dont run from LEOs and most that do arent skilled 'busa riders either.

I have a 2010 Harley touring bike and have not had one issue with it.
