It's becuase BMW bikes are sturdy and really reliable. I thought the same thing until i talked to my neighbor who is a cop.

Those bikes hardly need maintenance and they run FOREVER.

here's our version of police... they LOVE random inspection points.



Got a few HMMVV police cars. those things are sweet. especially when they run around with .50cals mounted on them.

My hometown bought a couple Ranger 4X4 pickups and had them decked out as police cars. Not sure, but the rumor was that they had to get pickups to keep people from going offroad to get away from the cops. Knowing the people around there... it wouldn't surprise me.

Unfortunately, I don't live there anymore, so I can't get a picture. Plus, last time I was there, I think they replaced them with Rams. Fail.

I live two blocks from the regional HP headquarters. I'll get some pics tomorrow, but it's pretty darn dark here right now.
