He'd get pulled over if he was riding like that in Minnesota. A rider needs to have eye protection. I've even heard of people getting tickets for raising their visor when stopped. Do they have similar laws in England?

Me thinks Iggie will be zealous when he sees these pix! :lol:
No requirement for eye protection. But the can be a bit arsey about riding with your flip front lid open. But only if you are out in the nationals. Around towns they aren't too fussed.

Definitely noticeable in that color combo!

Those are the Euro-only mirror covers / wind deflectors, bikes also have the lower fairing extensions / rain foot guards installed.

+1, Gunny! Mick, here's a An Garda Siochana - Dublin (Irish Police Force) FJR. On Stanley Boys trip to Eire in 2009, we got to see these motos and talk to the Officers.It's a European thing!

I'd think that the radio/comm/data stuff would run off an auxiliary total-loss battery. Plug 'em in at the garage at the end of the shift to recharge both bike and aux batts. The police lights look to be mostly led, especially the forward and presumably the rear units. Not sure about the side units.
Really nice looking bikes, though. I've always been of two minds about conspicuous lights/colors. On the one hand sober drivers avoid you; on the other hand drunks fixate on and hit you!

Yebbut....the drunks immediately realize what those particular reflective colors are rather than fixating on them.
That probably wouldn't be true "en Estados Unidos" where the combination would be an oddity.

In California, anyway, all police bikes have two little blue lights in the back--always on. They don't seem all that bright till you see them from behind at night. If you come up behind one, you definitely won't go passing him at please-give-me-a-ticket speed. And I appreciate them very much. In fact, I'd love to see all police vehicles painted up just as gaudily as that Irish Garda bike, especially the ones that park at the bottom of a long hill on an empty highway, hiding in the shade of a tree so you won't notice them as they radar-gun you. Kind of like belling the cat.
