Escort bike? More like a high performance pusuit bike!

...but he doesn't look to be entirely comfortable in the seat. He doesn't have that planted, 'I-own-the-road' look of a plod on an ST, he looks like a boy-racer wannabe. Nice bike, pity about the rider. Sorry!

My 5 cents worth.

The VFR is definitely sports bike in its riding position, so I am surprised that it is being used for escort duty. I found it put too much weight on the arms and wrist.  Wind protection is not any where near and ST.  The enignes goes hard though and great brakes.  I would not want to ride it all the time on police shifts though.
