    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).

    No idea, I work on four wheels not two. TFOGGER would know that one. But typically BMW means add a zero at the end of the invoice...

    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.

    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.

    I can't get mad if it's the truth... Yeah, BMWs cost a lot to maintain and fix... hence why most PDs use American cars, much cheaper to maintain and fix (even if they don't last nearly as long or perform as well )
