Reporting for duty…

The RX3-P police motorcycle will be reporting for duty very shortly with a large police department (with over 300 sworn officers) for an extended evaluation period.  We’re very excited about this, as is the department that will soon receive the RX3-P.

There’s more to follow, folks, and we’ll keep you updated.  We’re not publicizing the department just yet because the police motorcycle business is fairly competitive.

More than a few folks have commented that a 250 is too small for police duty.   Quite the opposite is the case, and there’s a good argument to be made that the current crop of US police bikes are actually too large.   The Colombians, for example, use a 200cc Suzuki as their primary police bike (there’s a complete chapter in Moto Colombia! about Colombian police motorcycles).  When I asked the Colombian motor officers if they knew about the much larger police bikes we typically use in the US, they laughed.   They Colombians said they were well aware of them, but they were not suitable for offroad use or use in congested areas.   The RX3-P doesn’t suffer from any of those deficiencies.

As always, keep an eye on the blog, folks.   More to follow…
