Qld Police still using ST1300’s?
« on: December 02, 2017, 06:22:06 AM »
Just looked at Qld police press release about hi viz and policing.

A lot of their fotos had ST1300’s in them . . Are these old fotos or are they still using the Hondas?

Stroppy I am not sure about the age of the photo but I do know that they still have some Hondas in service
There is one stationed here in Warwick that a friend of mine rides    But I think they are mostly on Yammahas

I see at least one quite regularly running around the Northern suburbs of Brisbane.

You can call me Steve, with apologies to Paul Simon.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

It is definitely new livery.

The old one had reflective orange.

2 years ago on the The Wall ride, comments were made on how visible my DayGlo treatment on the bike and jacket was, even in the mirrors of other riders.

They sure are and some of those bikes are getting pretty old despite their new wraps.

Apparently, here in qld they hsve an optio of the ST or the other one. Springwood Honda does a lot of servicing for the ones being used on the south side of Brisvegas.
