Not as good as the Hyabussa they have in Lincolnshire !.

Nobody is stopping you from speeding.  It's just if you get caught you get a fine.  It's your choice.

My advice to your mates is to simply refuse to comply with the S172 request asking for details of the riders. Both take 6 points on the chin and learn a lesson. If they weren't too badly behaved then take the chances with the lottery that is the court system.

As for the unmarked 'stealth' bikes... Good idea in some aspects but then not so good in others.

There is absolutely NO CHANCE of outrunning the FJRs on anything less than a 1000cc sportsbike. My close friend had one and I raced him on my ZX6R, anhilation was putting it mildly! Very capable machines! Obviously 'out running' doesn't really matter in this age of camera technology but I am just pre-warning everyone in case one tries to get you to stop!

Speeding is of course a mandatory requirement of being a biker and no doubt the Police are aware of this and most likely do have a little flexibility when it comes to bikers (one's I've dealt with sure have!) so unless you're a plonker they'll 90% of the time leave you alone.

Again, we're in some kinda deep dark recession so no doubt the processes and beliefs of bikers will be thwarted in pursuit of 'making money' by any means possible. The FJR and all other bikes and cars etcetera DO need to be paid for by some means or another after all...........

and this is new news?????????????

the police have a black firblade with camera fitted round the kent area and there is also an unmarked bmw k1300 or something or other floating round teh a13 and essex.

i've also seen unmarked pans or fjrs in surrey.

police have been using unmarked camera bikes for quite a while new the blade mantioned above has even been known to goad other sports bikes into a bit of a race then when a traffic car puls them the blade stops and shows the offending rider the evidence form his camera.

Super mario you have got to be tripping, the dry weight of a FJR1300 is 585 pounds add fuel and added police extras and you looking at close 700 pounds. And you think you need need at least 1000cc to out run him. I'm not advocating to anyone to break the law, but damn. 

To be fair when some of the cops start getting killed in 'accidents', i think the police will back of the whole idea and just let sationary cameras and air units do the same job in a much safer way to the speeding riders, the cops on bikes and the public.
