Best motorcycle content in Australia!
I agree!!
And he’s so breedable
Great video!! Always wondered what they used
This was a pretty fun clip, but for some reason you missed out one of the large players in the field, especially in years past. Moto Guzzi supplied many police forces with patrol bikes, both in Italy, North America, and other countries. In fact the police bikes in the Clint Eastwood movie, Magnum Force were Guzzis. These bikes were used by various American police forces, and come up for sale fairly regularly on the west coast, either V7 850's, or later Eldorado 850's. I've been looking for one for years as they're a cool bike to cruise on. Currently I ride a R1200 RT police spec (ex Vicpol) for most daily, and touring rides. Of course I have Italian bikes for sport riding.
Love your content mate keep it up👍👌
Cheers mate! Glad you’re enjoying it 🙌🏻
Those are some fancy motorbikes driven by law enforcers. 🤩
The next step is do they have a mechanic that knows what they are dealing with a fast bike have a fest mechanic and alot more technical than the street machine. It's hard to find a good mechanic nowadays with computers they only know what the computer tells them.
First!
You the real MVP
My local Old Bill use violence!
what do you mean by saying america and canada? canada is also a part of NORTH AMERICA, along with MEXICO. You certainly mean USA
The police have the people's money to spend, so they don't care about price. But I do, i have a motorcycle that disappear, when I see a red light. Been doing it for years, here in central valley, the road is straight and speed and horsepower rule. Until the police come up with something that will keep up with it, i will keep my 1972 kawasak 1170cc,turbocharged. The h2 kawasak is a interesting design, but it doesn't keep up with my current ride. B m w s are rather slow, and too expensive for me. Tell all the cops to buy one 1⃣ so I can disappear.
I hope you have only straight roads where you live
@@stevenleek1254 central valley CA miles and miles of straight roads and lots of farm trees to hide. Freeway 5 is the same just the dam hello, 174 mph clock .
@spidertazzfb47 Here in Victoria, Australia we have a number of unmarked police bikes that patrol the 'scratcher' roads in the hills around Melbourne. They are either on BMW K1300S, or 1000RR, which I'm sure you realize is being run in world superbikes quite successfully. Coupled with their rider training, which is very high level, and allows them to corner and ride quicker than virtually all riders, except maybe A grade racers, they WILL catch you. I have seen them catch all sorts of very quick modern machines, plus they have video, and plate recognition software, so they don't really even have to pull you over. Even if it is very quick in a straight line your 72 Kawasaki will have all sorts of frame and geometry issues that fast modern bikes don't have, if you want to risk your life to evade a speeding ticket, good on you, just don't come to Victoria.
@@andrewlongfield3102 Speed was king in the central valley and in 1981 is a fiew years ago when i was working for the department. No doubt bike's ate faster and better handling today but there are tricks that can come into play . They need to see you before they can find you . Some motorcycle are 600 hp now and will catch me NOW .
But in the mountains where I live now you are really good to go in the triple and then it's more skill and handling than brute speeds. So being that you need experience and handling win . I am 76years old now and a lot richer they have a 55mph limit and you are luckey to cruse at that speed. 30 to 50 is normal fast because of the road and cop's travel in 3es . My strategy is to know every hiding place on the 3 lains in town and the police are rairity because the rode is a limiting factor. So i run a 650 duel sport dirt roads in the forest of redwoods the condition is control over speed . I have been riding from 8 years old and 76years old today . I have no idea what they ride up here because I have never seen one . Respect is earned not demanded and everyone needs to understand that especially road racing. The only ticket i have been for passing over the dabble line i was in a hurry and past 2 cars over the line ,unfortunately they were stopped arround the corner. So yesterday was yesterday but it was fun going 170or so and working with America 🇺🇸 turbo pack back then . I gave kawasak 750 setup was my update on America 🇺🇸 turbo. I used to ride in all kinds of weather conditions and now just for fun. The big street bikes are fun to pass and the less experience personally i feel that they need to limit the size of the motorcycle to the experience of the rider. Being a gray fox 🦊 now and riding in the forest i still have fun. Just a different way.
Some kawasak have supercharged but it would be overkill up here more bike than road. You have to pick your race for the condition of everything including yourself. Do you have freeways? Much-loved here.
@@spidertazzfb47 Hi Spider, nice to hear back, it sounds like you are evolving as a rider, which we all need to do, you have a couple of years experience on me, I'm 61, and been riding since I was 4. I've moved to the mountains as well, a long way east of Melbourne, well away from the popular roads patrolled by unmarked bikes, and mostly its a positive experience. In the last few years however the authorities have taken to dropping the posted limit on all the really good bendy mountain roads to 80kmh (normal legislated country limit in Victoria is 100kmh), I hear it's because young riders come all the way out from the city, then write themselves off on a twisty country road where they don't know any of the corners. Kind of spoils it for local riders, and people who realize it's not a racetrack, ie, country roads have no runoff, no soft catch fences, but do have trees to run into, drops off the edge, very varied road surfaces, and hazards, plus inconsistent corners. When I was young I low sided my GPZ750 Kawasaki at 140kmh, on a corner that tightened up twice, and then dropped away as well, yes it was a road I hadn't ridden before, and I was playing chasey with a stranger on a superior bike to mine. The bike slid to a stop with the front wheel over a 30 foot drop into a creek. Lesson learned for some minor bruises and scuffed leathers. I've never owned a turbo bike, and I'm pretty sure I don't need to at my age, but I own an 84 Laverda RGS1000, which many years ago I took to 265, at dawn one morning on some open river flats (actually on my way to flag marshal for a bike race that weekend). It's probably the fastest stock bike of the era, even without a turbo, and surprised me with how stable it was, and it was still pulling strongly with another 1000 revs to go when I rolled off. These sort of memories are nice to look back on, as I ride somewhat slower now due to being crushed by a falling tree, then having 10 years rehab for a nerve damaged arm before I could get my license back. I don't want to risk further disability, or pain, so I ride a lot more conservatively, hence the R1200RT. I couldn't do another ten years without riding. I've had plenty of fun over the years on all sorts of bikes and hopefully that'll continue. I've got a Benelli Tre K Amazonas that is an adventure bike, and the best riding position for my six foot two frame of anything I own. It's bright yellow, on wire wheels and runs on TKC street knobbies, so it looks like an ordinary chook chaser, but it's got an 1130 3 cyl making 145hp at the back wheel. I used to have a lot of fun chasing Ducatis and R1's etc in the mountains, watching their reactions as they couldn't ride away from what looked like a dirt bike was priceless. I agree with you on limiting inexperienced riders, they do that here, used to be a 250 law, now because some 250's are very quick, it's an approved list of bikes for learners and probationary riders, but as you know, inexperience can catch you out on any bike. We have freeways here, but not like yours, mostly they are 2 lane each side, although there are a couple of 4 lane a side ones in Melbourne itself. I try to stay off them unless I need to cover the 300km or so to the city quickly, but the cars have no awareness of bikes, and there are always radar speed traps, and speed cameras to send you the speeding bill in the mail.
