I was getting gas today and a motorcycle cop pulled in to ask me about the bike. He was mostly interested in reliability and how people like the Ulys because they have been approached by a local Buell dealer to order some. I guess they are seriously considering replacing the hogs with Ulys!

Ulys make perfect sense, especially, for National Parks staff and state game wardens

Not that Uly couldn't be a contender, but as it is now. I think the Uly is a little "high strung", to be a serious police bike:
Heat (Uly, at least mine, does not like slow speed parade like duty.)
Noise (may be difficult to hear 1-Adam-12 over the fan howl.)
Ride height (seen how small cops are getting lately?)
Marginal electrical system(?) for operation of police bike equipment.

Yeah, I can see them when they're just a speck. Those little buggers are everywhere! I never go faster than the posted speed on public roads now.

We get our COP demo bike next week. Then it is off to do the tour rounds of the local jurisdictions. Already have an RFP for 3 from a jurisdiction that is going to use them to party bust back woods kegers.

All I can say is ever see a cop ride? With what they can do on a bagger like that imagine what they can do on an uly. There is no escaping!

I have never thought of that. Does the new fuzz Uly have a larger alternator?
