Yes they are a total crock. I was talking to one of my mates who may or may not ride a current FJ1200 with bells & whistlesStevieD wrote:and don't forget the Hardleys!!Gosling1 wrote:

, and he flatly refuses to ride the hogs. We had a laugh about how good the local scratchers would have it, if they introduced hogs as the pursuit bikes here !!! Chaos out on the Cotter Loop !! "....get off the roads, your in peril...." is how it was described. Needless to say, and as you already know - the hogs are only used for ceremonial and escort duty. For that - they are very good.thanks DaisyDaisy wrote:Fixed that for ya mate.Gosling1 wrote:ACT coppers will be belting around on 1400 GTR's pretty soon.
And they don't even like to ride them for that, they take up the rear for ceremonial/escort stuff, they're too heavy, no ground clearance, and too slowGosling1 wrote:Needless to say, and as you already know - the hogs are only used for ceremonial and escort duty. For that - they are very good.
-- Kawasaki 1400GTR being evaluated by AFP and NSW Police
Various Australian Police forces including the Australian Federal Police and the NSW Police Force are currently evaluating the Kawasaki 1400GTR motorcycle for their daily motorcycle related law enforcement duties.
Introduced to the world for the 2008 model year, the Kawasaki 1400GTR quickly endeared itself to the motorcycle touring population winning numerous awards in recent years including MOTY accolades in USA publications Motorcyclist, Cycleworld and Rider magazines.
Owing to its generous storage space, tight turning circle, light steering at slow speeds and a class leading shaft driven 1352cm3 in-line 4cyclinder engine with variable valve timing, Kawasaki claim the 1400GTR is a perfect platform for Police motorcycle requirements. It is currently in active use by numerous Police forces around the world including Europe and the USA where a dedicated police force model is available for special order through Kawasaki dealerships.
Kawasaki is pleased that Australian Police forces are following suit by evaluating the 1400GTR for active use with high level testing already being undertaken by the AFP and the NSW Police force.
