Jake Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Why did you obscure the number plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrzs Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Why did you obscure the number plate? I was asked to by the constable who was stood near me when taking the pic, not sure why he asked me but thought i'd better do as told. It's not like you would'nt recogise it though is it ?

neil tt Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 It will be going so fast, I doubt if you would see it anyway. Can anyone tell me the reason for it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I was thinking that too, seeing as they have fast cars, and helicopters, what is the need for a bike? They have scramblers to go down alleyways/cross country if needed, and the risk of getting hit off it must be too high... Smells of a promotional stunt to me?... EDIT : It'll probably sit on the side of a motorway catching speeders at 85mph... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 ohh dog poo. are you sure that not some of media stunt for honda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 seeing as they have fast cars, and helicopters, what is the need for a bike? 190+ MPH police pursuit bike = £10k 190+ MPH police pursuit car = ??? police pursuit helicoptor = ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrzs Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 it's a working police bike apparently as you say Pot, whats the point ?? they have plenty of high power hardware to catch you if you've been naughty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 once the supra gets to 190, with this thing on your ass, just tap the brakes... and wait for the white of his eyes!! Pretty much what I was thinking, but I couldn't think of the right words to put... I doubt this would ever become a serious high speed chase vehicle, the safety implications should always say a car's a better tool?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt k Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I think it's designed as a deterent and maybe to pursue other superbikes?? Bikes can weave in and out of traffic much better than any performance car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt this would ever become a serious high speed chase vehicle, the safety implications should always say a car's a better tool?... New addition to the spoiler!! Ofcourse a car is safe... I think it's designed as a deterent and maybe to pursue other superbikes?? Bikes can weave in and out of traffic much better than any performance car. I do agree that there are applications for bike, and traffic is probably one the best uses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Looks like Sussex have been playing with a few bits of kit lately then. I spotted these two on their stand at Goodwood. The Lotus is "totally impractical" while the Harley is "in service" according to the guy I spoke to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil tt Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Just give the police the power to shoot at the bast--ds that run. That should soon make them stop:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 They are promo things to scare the owners of fast cars/bikes. Who remembers the "police spec" lotus esprit and lamborghini diablo that did the rounds a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
