I saw these bikes before I saw the article. I was watching the Golden Globes pre-show and saw these bikes. I had to pause and rewind the TiVo a few times trying to figure out what they were. They looked like FJR's but there were differences and they were only visible for a short time and were not in High-Def.

I didn't see that show, but wifey spotted them. They had the mirror mounted hand guards, narrow city style covers for the side bags, and the Euro version of the corbin smugler.

yeah, i heard a story (i think on NPR) and i assumed they would be riding FJRs. the video clip is not of the french motor cop's bikes (at least i am pretty sure). i think they are Netherlands Police bikes. also, you will notice the Cal Sci windshield in the video clip (Netherland cops are also mentioned on the Cal Sci FJR webpage). pics of the actual french bikes can be found here...

either way, a lot more interesting than silver, blue, or even the new cherry.

EDIT... sorry, should have read the first article, not just watched the movie... those are the frenchies' bikes.

Nicole Kidman, they say is wanted by the French police.

And, she is also wanted by SouthernFJR. :dribble:

Anyone know where you can get mirrors like the French police have?

 

[PapaUtah]

I wonder if they have the French-spec detuned motors in them also...

 

[fjrchooser]

Pretty cool of the LAPD to go after the Frenchies with rubber bullets. And here I thought LA cops had lost their sense of humor after Rodney.

I was also wondering if they had the detuners... BruHaHa TJ

Excellent choice of bike for the purpose.

Check out the horn/siren install almost at the end of the clip. I paused it to look and couldn't believe the wack job on the plastic. :blink: :lol:
