Concerned - If you have had 1800 jobs clutch on a BMW R1200RT-P, you must work on your riding technique When using the BMW correctly, there is no reason for you to burn the clutch the bike is capable of processing all lE cone course without using the rear brake, I drove BMW's since 1997, more than 20,000 miles a year, and never replaced a clutch I'm not impressed with the 14P contest of course, acceleration and braking are good, however, it is a motorcycle with a terrible mishandling driving position is not suitable for most applications tHE to compare even a BMW R1200RT-P or Honda is ST1300PA bad BMW and Honda service have outsold Kawasaki thousands in sales lE If worldwide Kawasaki wants to be a real competitor in the police motorcycle market they need to get behind Kawasaki the program instead of outsourcing police sales to individual dealers who convert only civilian motorcycles.
Its all about acceleration and braking BMW1200 a clutch employment to 70,000 miles, yes, it is too expensive BMW repair costs are too expensive Kawasaki is the way to go, I'm pretty sure that Honda hasn t do an offer with CHP HD SHOULD BE aS POLICE Outlawed motorycle 270 LBS HEAVY really CHP contract required 100 more, motorcycles not new nine LOL, really They produce t Couldn motorcycles by the end of the year so that the contract was canceled Who really cares where the blame is thrown.
Outlawed HD MUST BE AS POLICE MOTORCYCLES I think that's why Harley-Davidson has about 94 of the police market today Oh and I think CHP has received the new Harley-Davidson contract.
HD got the cogeneration contract because no other bike has been submitted for HD offering is the slowest bike heaviest bike, noisiest offer very little protection against the weather classic look, beautiful sound US vtwin and cheap to repair at his own benifits I bet the CHP officers are upset to pass a modern able police motorcycle like the BMW Harley to a slow, hard and heavy.
I hope that Kawasaki continues to produce 14 Competition policy cycle Over the years, I went up on the various policy cycles; such as the 1000 Kawasaki bike CHIPS, police Harley Davidson motorcycle, and the Honda ST1300 Overall, the contest 14, the best round I am so convinced; that my personal cycle is a competition 14 selected over others; without a second thought, I am since 1971 the bike, it would be a shame to lose such a precise cycle, a minor problem that can be easily removed.
