Yup - ZZR1400

[RedexRobB]

But does it handle? With one of those bike coppers on board im sure it bloody well does!

[Northern ANdy]

why hasn't it got any aerials?

[zxr_oli]

is it actually a police bike, or is it just a bike with some stickers?

why isnt the police writen on the screen writen backwards?

[superman]

it more than likely is real cos its illegal to replicate a police vehicle im sure.

It seems to be more of a publicity thing rather than an active service vehicle - the same as I suspected about the marked SP-1 that pulled into The Waterman one night!

I suppose any offlicer on/in a marked vehicle has powers to pull you over, though?

As for ariels - I would have thought technology would be very much more advanced than requiring huge CB-type ariels anymore? I mean, mobile phones don't have them anymore, and so I'm sure the same kind of arial could be fitted in or around the fairing in a concealed way?

I certainly don't rely on that as a visual sign when looking for unmarked cars anymore, anyway...

Unmarkeds don't have ariels on any more but they do have the fuel type written above the fuel filler flap, so the silly piggies know what to put in it, although I think any one who can't tell if the car they are driving is a petrol or a diesel shouldn't be allowed in a car any way.

i doubt police bikes have fuel type written on them. not many diesel bikes around.

and on the subject of "silly piggies". Most hire cars, minibuses, etc, etc also have fuel type above the filler. all cars that people will get into and drive from driving different cars.

[mycallsevern]

That is very true, but I would rather be causious around all cars with the fuel type written on it than have to spend more time down the local magistrates trying to explain why "it wasn't that dangerous"

After all better safe than sorry.
