The Los Angeles Police Department has issued a purchase order for 75 ABS-equipped Harley-Davidson Police Electra Glide motorcycles to replace a portion of the agency’s existing fleet of 393 motorcycles.
After evaluating motorcycles from various manufacturers, the LAPD decided Harley-Davidson’s offering best met department needs. Tests conducted measured acceleration, handling, and braking. Other factors considered included purchase cost and cost of maintenance and operation.
