If I were a cop, and had a choice I'd be hard pressed to turn that one down. I love Valkries. 8) Any more info where that came from?

No, I can't recall. I just had it sitting on my desktop for a couple of years. I know it was at a toy run in the U.S. somewhere.

I found a picture of a police gixxer the other day but can't seem to locate it now, I wanted to post it up here as well.

Japanese Cop Bikes...

I always thought if police forces started going with Japanese bikes, it would put a real hurt on HD... Goldwing or ElectraGlide? I gotta go with the Honda. (Not anti-Harley... just... well, I am not a mechanic ;-))

Love the sig line paul246 - I was trying to come up with something similar... "250cc still better than 4 wheels..." I got too wordy :-)

The ducati is from Edmonton I know that much. Though you'll never see it on the street. That is a "promotional tool" for all intents and purposes.

The cops in Vancouver are using a modified '05 Honda 919 as a test for their street riders. Ought to be interesting, it doesn't have the same space as the valks shown above, but is a nice manevourable ride.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

This is the police bike I've seen at the bike show. More likely than a Goldwing, the ST1300. This would be an excellent alternative to a Harley.
