BMW Motorrad has worked its way into the national police, but that also has its disadvantages for the police; then try again to unobtrusively patrol people. Reason for the Team Support Police National Unit to test various Indian models.
We have often experienced it ourselves, how people suddenly go off the gas and neatly comply with the traffic rules when we came into the crosshairs of those fellow road users with a BMW. BMW has been a purveyor of the police for years, among others, and that will become noticeable in traffic at some point.
That is not a problem if you want to be very visible, but with inconspicuous surveillance and escorts you want to stand out as little as possible. Now BMW also has a number of suitable engines for that segment, but nevertheless research in practice has shown that the models used are recognized too quickly as police engines, as a result of which the efficiency is perceived as insufficient.
“Apparently the public is so used to police motorcyclists on a BMW that they soon suspect that the inconspicuous motorcycles are also being ridden by an employee of our team,” said a spokesman for the Motor Support Team.
“We started looking for a supplier with a selection of models that will not be directly associated with police riders. Indian Motorcycle quickly emerged as the most suitable candidate. purposes.”
The review process will begin immediately from the first day of Q2 2023 and all Indian Motorcycle models will be put through an extensive field serviceability test.
“When we read about the tender in January, we immediately took the plunge and made contact with the police. In the subsequent conversations it immediately became apparent that the arguments put forward by us were taken very seriously. After that everything accelerated. We are convinced that Indian Motorcycle is the most suitable supplier for this job and look forward to the results of the field tests with confidence.”
