Sounds like a 'one off', at the moment.

My friend Google came up with this: https://forums.officer.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-125701.html

That was an interesting link to see the motor cop's viewpoints. Not something we often see on this forum.

Pretty much what I expected, though, most of them are completely ********: Buy American. FJR is uncomfortable for long days in the saddle (just ask the IBR guys, right?), Like the style of the HDs, FJR is too much like a crotch rocket.

Whatever...

Yea, power to the people....or is it po po!!

You could mistake an FJR for a "crotch rocket" kinda....but never a Harley for one!!

And this was my favorite.

The BMW is still my favorite. It's a bigger bike for my height, stops on a dime and has the crumple zone.

WTF over.

Since when do a buy a bike which is made to crumple?

It is a crotch rocket...twist that thing on the right and it'll prove me right.

Bout the same time folks started buying them with airbags built in.

Was talking to a Riverside County Sheriff motor officer a couple weeks ago.

He was on a BMW, he said his division has BMW's some ST1300's and a couple of FJR's.

We've got road kings and I ask my boss every day if I can trick out my FJR and work off of it instead.

Just saw a thing the other day about the Police models being sent to the US and tested. Not sure where it will go, but it sounds promising.
