The engine doesn't feel overly powerful if you are transitioning from a more modern large displacement motorcycle, however the power increases quickly with higher RPM's- and before you know it you'll be moving at extralegal speeds. - But be careful, that fork mounted fairing can provide some wicked input to the bars causing all sorts of strange control issues-especially if you hit a bump or find a groove in the freeway at 70+ MPH. Engine vibration is noticeable at all speeds and the 630 chain is also quite noisy. | The engine doesn't feel overly powerful if you are transitioning from a more modern large displacement motorcycle, however the power increases quickly with higher RPM's- and before you know it you'll be moving at extralegal speeds. - But be careful, that fork mounted fairing can provide some wicked input to the bars causing all sorts of strange control issues-especially if you hit a bump or find a groove in the freeway at 70+ MPH.

At this point is is quite unlikely you will obtain one of these from a police department, but if you get any police motor make certain that there are no forward facing red pursuit lights on the motorcycle before you take it out for a ride for the first time. Also cool neat things like sirens and rear facing blue lights must be removed as well, depending on your local codes. Failure to do this could result in a citation/arrest for impersonating a police officer. | |||
