I overheard one Stormtrooper complaining that they ingest too many bugs and roadkill, and are prone to flameout?
He had a tank bag fitted to his?

Thanks but sort of got my heart set (I think) on an ex Police one. 
Can't happen now but working towards it.

My ST1100 is a nice white ex-police one . . I like them because they are definately much more visible on the road . . A nice white ST1300 would be the way to go . .

I went along to the last auctions of state government vehicles and there were two police bikes, still licensed, 2008.
I wasn't in a position to buy those but I'm watching for others.
They went for @ $4700 + buyer's premium.

Have to say that if I was to move from the 1100, an ex police 1300 would be the go.... rather like the ex FJRs too,, but stick with the brandname.. :wht11... :wht13?
Only ever ride my own ride, helps me to stay above ground!

The June Australian Motorcyclist is out, and there's a comparo of five touring bikes.
More proof that Honda has lost the plot- they only reviewed BMW, Ducati, Kawasaki, Triumph and Yamaha bikes.
Honda isn't even in the race!     :'(

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
