Aurora police car?

[XC700116]

State Patrol used to use BMW bikes, didn't they? From what I know, they have a high maintenance cost because of the labor to replace a clutch... At least that's what my brother tells me who's a motorcycle officer (not in CO).

Actually it's normally the final drive on BMW's

Price wise they aren't much if any different than the Harley's but the maintenance costs can be a bit higher pretty much only due to final drives normally.

Performance wise, for PD duty the BMW is twice the bike the Harley's are though. Lighter, just as powerful and better handling all around. If I were a motorcycle officer I'd take the BMW over the Harley ANY day if given the choice.

Why the ticket officer? Never mind that's a dope ride, yo. What ever I can do to help the man stay P I M P.

These vehicles have their uses. The one used for my jurisdictional area has been used at least twice that I know of and has taken fire while rescuing police officers. Also a government grant and has to be shared with mutual aid jurisdictions.

The sound level would be ungodly if you discharged a fire arm in that van. My "friend" has done that a couple times and regrets it for sure.

They are KMC rims

The purpose of this is to spend free taxpayer money toward something that is an absolute waste of money. All this at the same time they complain they need more money to fund their department.
