Motorcycle cops are among the most skilled riders ever to throw a leg over a two-wheeler, performing all the tasks of their car-driving counterparts, but on much faster and more vulnerable machines. This full-color book takes readers into the world of the modern motorcycle officer, offering comparisons of popular police bikes built by Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki and BMW; special equipment for the bikes and officers; training and patrolling techniques; and the special tasks associated with motorcycle officers.

The best book on police motorcycles ANYWHERE!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern Police Motorcycles in Action (Enthusiast Color Series) (Paperback)
This is a fabulous book! It has a full gallery of awesome color pics of police motorcycles, and eye-catching information on them as well. Plus there are sidebars covering topics like the pros and cons of each brand of police 'cycle, police motorcycles in pop-culture, the relations motorcycle officers have between other kinds of law enforcement officers(patrol car, air unit, mounted, etc.), police bicycles, and off-road police motorcycles. Great pics, great info, GREAT book. A must for any enthusiast of motorcycles, police vehicles, or just police motorcycles in general.

All you want to know about modern day motorcycle officers!,
By horibl1@netwurx.net (Oconomowoc, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modern Police Motorcycles in Action (Enthusiast Color Series) (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book because it not only gives you great pictures of police motorcycles (Which there are plenty of!), but it also talks about the equipment both on the bikes and the officers use while on patrol. I also enjoyed the section on training and what it is like to be on patrol on a police motorcycle.

Great introduction to police motorcycles & motor officers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern Police Motorcycles in Action (Enthusiast Color Series) (Paperback)
This book is a great for the novice who is interested in police motorcycles and the officers who ride them. Pros and cons of each brand of bike, qualifications to be a motor officer, equipment and more are covered here. Great companion to Genat's incredible book "Harley Davidson Police Motorcycles". Heck, buy 'em both!
