Police Motorcycles: 2009
Officers patrolling for agencies that purchased motorcycles from the 2009 model year will be riding one of six models. Harley-Davidson, which began producing police motorcycles in 1908, offers the Road King and Electra Glide (identical engine with sidecar mounting). BMW's R1200 RT-P is a favorite of the California Highway Patrol and Los Angles Sheriff's Department. The company also offers the G650. In 2007, Honda began producing its ST1300, a compact, performance bike. And H-D subsidiary Buell began producing a police version of its Ulysses sportbike in late 2008. Roads can't contain that bike, which has already been put to use by several rural departments.

BMW offers two police motorcycles: the R1200 RT-P (pictured) and G650. The RT-P, which is favored by the CHP and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, is the police version of a civilian model that offers an 1170 cc boxer twin motor rated at 110 hp. The bike uses two batteries: one to start and an auxiliary to run the lights, onboard computer and other gear. There are analog and digital speedometers; the later allows the officer to pace a vehicle, monitor its speed and store that information in the onboard computer. The bike arrives with mounts for a shotgun, baton, radio and laser gun. Photo via BMW Motor Co.

Buell Ulysses Police Motorcycle
Harley-Davidson
The new Buell Ulysses Police XB12XP motorcycle is a quick and very nimble “special duty” patrol vehicle. Based on the Ulysses adventure sportbike from Harley-Davidson subsidiary Buell, the Ulysses Police features long-travel suspension, generous ground clearance, and aggressive tires that allow it to tackle roads too rough or narrow for confident travel in a car or on a traditional police motorcycle.
