Cop bike comparison

I hope they buy the Harley! I'm really surprised the 2010 BMW takes nearly 13 seconds in the quarter mile. A good running R90S could match that!

I also hope they buy the Harley. Then they can't catch us.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

Not if you bolt enough crap on it to bring it to 650 lbs. :roll:

Also note that these performance figures (for all the bikes) are those claimed by Kawasaki. Thus, it's not all that shocking that the Kawasaki wins in every category shown (except wet weight, where it's a fairly close second).

Also note the footnote at the bottom: "* BMW or Honda did not offer a 2010 Police model at time of print"

Maybe they couldn't compete.

CHP is still riding BMWs. Of course, they're still wearing open face helmets.

And short-sleeve shirts (here in Indiana). What's up with that?
