HD Street 750 for Police Use?

its affordable

but I don't think its big enough.

I think there was another video of a Harley police bike. So it has been done before. I can't see why not. I could never understand why police departments buy vehicles and bikes that are so nice. Sure it needs an engine that moves it, but does it need Harley styling? Couldn't that money be spent on something just as good but cheaper?

yea they use harleys but they use elctra glides or road kings. Pretty much double the displacement of Street 750 LOL

Starting to think it's not as heavy duty as it needed to be for that type of job.
Road kings are indeed far more suitable

If part of the point of getting police motorcycles is to be able to keep up with kids on fast bikes, the police would need something faster or they would just get left behind. Imagine the Street 750 chasing after someone on a high powered Ducati. No contest.

yea but Ducati still can't outrun Motorolla... unless they've come out with warp drive recently

thats not the only point but it's also for easy of use and even for some cops that patrol highways.

Doesn't Motorolla make cell phones (or used to at least?) Do they make motorbikes too?

Any cop on a Harley would look like a bad ass, and intimidating the public is half of being a cop.

they make police radios

Police do use harley davidsons

often too

but the street might be a bit too small for police duty.

but you never know

That is true. It also depends on what they need it for. They can have a range of lower output smaller CC bike and then high output high CC bikes for serious speed

What size is required for police duties and how would bikes benefit them? egtting in and out of traffic faster or?

It's still good as firefighters not only put out fires but act as paramedics at times. But I don't see many fire departments having these.

then they should make paramedic specific rigs. I saw a stat somewhere an EMS professional on a motorbike can save like 4 more lives than an EMS pro in an ambulance.
