As a current busa owner (2nd busa) and owner of 4 more other bikes ranging from 2 custom kawasai z1’s , 1 1991 stretched and raced 1127 slingshot gsxr1100, and being a retired fed police officer with motor patrol and later k-9 bomb dog handler, you are absolutely out of your mind. Race on the track , not the street. Police officers want to go home safe just like everyone else, not to die for some stupid assholes ego trip on the street. There IS a reason the D.C. area has six racetracks in its circumference for a reason! RACE ON THE TRACK, RIDE ON THE STREET! Peace and ride safe.!

look I get the concept but your puttin cops lives at risk with this one I have chased down cars before to get plates but I would never EVER try to pull it over one flick of the wheel or a hard slam on the brakes and the cop is down and possibly killed I think it is good for chasing and getting a plate number but thats as far as I would take it with a bike and yes I ride… 2008 GSXR 1000 with full racing exhaust power commander BMC race filter velocity stacks and most important a TRE wich removes the factory 186mph restriction…b

and I want to add that when the kids steal race bikes by me they usually come from newark (I live in new jersey) and they are great riders who do stunts like movies and ride very fast regularly. they come to the hill where the cops park and kick the sides of the cop cars and give the cops the finger, everyone knows they do it and that the bikes are stolen and there isnt a thing the police can do about it. the less people know about all this the better but the fact is that if a car past a cop who was writting out a ticket as stated in another post and the cop really wanted to catch that particular car with a hyabusa it wouldnt take very long to be on that cars bumper even from a stand still. I have come from the side of the road and gunned my ninja into traffic and the cars that were doing 70 when I was sitting still were always behind me in a matter of seconds. if you dont know this to be true then youve never been on a race bike.

for the guy who says you cant outrun the cops. I have and many freinds have. its not hard to outrun police if your on a zx14 or a hyabusa. they dont even try to catch you in city areas and if you dont believe me then show me the video or cop chases television show where they catch hyabusas. unless the rider falls, or runs out of gas, they never show a cop catch a hyabusa. do you know why? because they usually get away and the news wont show that on a daily bases. ask a cop who has chased a ninja if he caught it and see what he says. now its better at my age to just pull over and not risk my life but if I start to run I have always gotten away. dont get me wrong it is a scary feeling when your not used to being chased so I can see how even a good rider can mess up under stress. but its far from the truth to think the police will always catch the race bikes when the reality is that if you are a good rider who is used to high speeds and you focus on riding instead of the fear of what they will do to you if they get you youll probably get away.

why all the comments about tax payers money? the only cop bikes I see by me are bmw and road kings and im sure they cost alot more than hyabusas. and a police road king isnt gonna catch most bikes, it may not catch a few cars I can think of. a hyabusa on the other hand will assure the officer that with an opened road he can catch up to any vehicle he needs to.
