LEO (SHM)EO... I will give the officer the benefit of the doubt here. My only issue is...

I didn't know that ST's 1300's could GO THAT FAST!!!

Be nice! I am right here and can read what you are typing!

According to the magazines...

On average a Gen2 FJR will run a quarter mile in the mid 10.90s at around 125 mph. The ST1300 runs the quarter in the mid 11.40s at around 118 mph. While the ST cannot run with the FJR, it still moves pretty good for a big girl.

Usually just electrics, in some cases, a certified speedometer, and these days, more cameras than a 4 wheel cruiser. Many agencies have a second "dash" cam so when the bike is parked on a stop, and the handlebars are to one side, there's still a camera on the stopped vehicle. Of course, that's for bikes where there isn't a camera affixed to a frame mounted fairing.

I don't think the police bikes are upgraded, except for the electrical system. It's not like the cars that need more power. Motorcycles are not for pursuits. They are fast enough to work traffic already stock
