I lust after any BMW police bike and always wantone for a city bike then I get out my old BMW service files, read the invoices and remember why I ride a 'wing

However this does appear to be a good deal on a clean low mileage police bike

I never thought American was using non-US brand vehicles for police. Monette Sports in Quebec is always have them in stock from Laval or Montreal Police:

What he can do on a bike makes him sexxxy to all the girls :laughing
I would only get an old Kawi police bike so I can be like Ponch
I briefly rode an old BeeMer (74 R9) with a massive white touring fairing and I had an old military police motorcycle helmet (actually said MP on it - black and white) and it was hilarious how traffic would behave around me. Cars would slow right the fuck down and everyone would drive like saints.

I restored the bike to be a cafe racer but it was a riot for the few weeks I kept it in that condition.

:rockon damn that's a nice looking bike. If you don't mind the fact that it's been ridden around like the town hoar, then take it (it'll have a lot of mileage, but probably well maintained by the police). If you are serious about the bike then budget what it would cost to make the bike not look like 5-0. I would personally add hot rod flames to it imho.

Get it and an Icon Mil-Spec vest to go with it. Gotta be good for a laugh

Did you find you got around faster or slower because everyone was slowing you down?

Same thing happens with the folks who buy ex-police cars.
I've heard a number bitch because they never can go anywhere fast because other drivers think it's a ghost and slow down to the limit.

They still use them in WA State, particularly Birch Bay in the summer months, and are in really good condition. A cop I talked to that was riding one got a kick out of the Ponch reference.
I'd like a KZ1000, but no other type.
Absolutely leave it in the Police livery - why not?
I think I'd enjoy the different reactions it might provoke, and be an ace tourer into the bargain.
