New Police Superbikes
« on: 17 July 2009, 18:08:06 »
Seems Humberside have taken delivery of 200mph 1300 Hayabusa's in a bid to cut down on speeders.

Dont know how many bikes they have bought, but heard a mention of 10 police officers qualified to ride them.

A 'Hayabusa' sounds like it might be ridden by a robed and revered 'Ninja-San'......not a traffic unit PC named Derek or Nigel. ;D

Was passing through newcastle area on Wednesday and saw the TrafPol there on their bike...  Funny battenburg colours though - blue and pink!  seriously!  Didn't have time to get a snap but saw 4 different bikes on the A1 all sporting the same blue/pink scheme...

Anyone else seen them?   :-?

They'll probably have them left in the standard colours, fitted with the tiniest Police badges, lights etc, wear loud coloured race leathers and go out baiting unsuspecting bikers in the hope they take up the challenge and then nab them for speeding.
Just like Plod and their R1's do down here  >:(
