Australian Police F6B

[rumble-b]

I saw this on the net today. It seems the New South Wales Police are trying out the F6B.

Looks good, I'll bet the officers will like the bikes better than an HD police bike.

Do the police in Oz ride Gold Wings at all?

The normal Gold Wing is used by some police departments in the US but I have not seen an F6B in police livery.

Not that i know of. I think they might have tried a couple , but as far as i know none are in service. HD are not used here either. Again i think they trialed them but were not suitable. Most forces here use BMW or a few Kawasakis and some Yamahas.

Sitting on a H.D. you have an air temp of around 115*, pavement temp around 150* and a oven sitting between your legs causing crotch rot...don't ask me how I know.....

Some of the PD"s can't turn down the deals...$1.oo for the bike and you pay maintenance ... Wonder what deal Daytona got for their butt ugly bikes???

Oklahoma Highway Patrol has 2 of these, along with BMW's and HD's

I wonder what criteria they used to select the F6... and what capacity it'll be used in.

They have also got a couple of V Max police bikes here, too.

The only time Australian Police have used H-D's was when the Sydney Olympics were on and H-D gave the States bikes which were only used to accompany the torch on it's relay. Never used for normal Traffic duty.

In my home State of Queensland, the last time Honda was used was back in the 70's with the 750/4 used for quite a few years. They've used BMW's reasonably often, but always seem to gravitate to Yamahas which they seem happiest on.

Awesome! I love the color scheme.

[olds34dude]

I wonder if the cop bikes are speed limited?

[cosborn]

Hey, I have one of those. They are not Butt ulgy :yikes::nono: :icon_wink:

They have to be better then a HD. Mine handles well. Heat wasn't a issue. Even in + 34 C. Slow as molasses tho.

[bobbyf6b]

Here's what we mostly have. The F6B lights look similar to the ST so a lot of people move out of my way. :icon_cool:

And yes, they ride those HD's in 120 degree plus summers. Good for them. :icon_mrgreen:

Yes... for civilians, it would be a Victory Cross Country. For police bikes, they call it the Victory Commander II.

Looks great... but looks too much like a cop bike. I have the black F6...and even now, when people see me coming up behind them, they act stupid and slow down right in front of me. Some will move over to the slower lane, but most just freak and slow down.

[4bobo]

Yep, I like it in white

White looks great.

How does one get their bike painted?

Do you go to an car paint shop?

Any idea what it would cost?

Thanks in advance!
