Have one. Love it!

when i join on the force this will be the one bike that i want. i already started my begging to the local sheriff!

Our department had one and it was terrible! The seat was uncomfortable, The stubby handle bars had you constantly leaning forward. The saddle bags would not hold a forms holder or a laser/radar gun. Our bike only came with two blue light on the front, no other visibility. I love Harley, but for police work, I will never ride one of these again.

I have had a sportster for 14 years love it

lite fast and ya look good

I am doing this rating strictly in consideration of police use: This motor doesn't have enough muscle to get out of it's own way, much less nab an offender. The body profile is slim, enabling it to get through narrow spaces in city traffic, however, anyone taller than 5'4" is going to look lide a giant tumor riding it. Adding more than 150# to this bike's weight is slowing it waaaay down, please, it's only an 883, I had to have the sink drilled and the air cleaner vented to get speed out of it. This machine may be ok for the EMTs, but to catch a speeder you'd be in the dust.

Sounds like a bike for me then. I want one.

too small, rough ride. 1200 Sporty much better, even better is a Dyna. After that you wanna consider the big crusisers.

I started on a Honda Twinstar 250, then moved up to the Harley Sportster. I like it.

police still have this

Hemet police have these at there station.
