Dan O will book'em on the back of a new BMW R 1200 RT-P in Honolulu
We all knew about police packages for the Ford Crown Vics and Chevys and Dodges, but who knew they had a police package for BMW motorcyles?
Honolulu’s Police Department did.
Five-O just ordered 34 new BMW R 1200 RT-P (the P is the police designation) to replace the aging models in its 50 unit fleet of BMW motorcycles that it has used exclusively for the past 12 years.
The 2011 models are ridden by HPD’s exclusively trained team of officers. In addition to traditional patrols, HPD uses the motorcycles for escort duties in parades, escorting dignitaries, and community events.
Stateside, BMW police bikes are used by more than 450 law enforcement agencies, including the three largest fleets:
California Highway Patrol Los Angeles Police Department Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.“A very high level of mission-specific standard equipment and features are built into every BMW police motor, making them the best long-term value for police agencies,” added Frank Stevens, Authority Program Manager, BMW Motorrad USA. “BMW motors come fully equipped with lights, siren, high performance electrical system, cooling system, radio preparation, as well as other special equipment requested. This saves the agency time and money otherwise required to separately purchase and install equipment or remove/trade that equipment with existing models.”
The R 1200 RT-P is powered by BMW’s modern 2-cylinder, 110 hp, overhead cam Boxer twin, with a redline of 7,750 rpm.
Value-added standard equipment includes:
Best-in-class fuel economy saving agencies thousands of dollars in life-time fuel costs vs. competitors while operating on less costly 89 AKI fuel. The longest service intervals (6,000 miles) for oil change/maintenance. The most comprehensive warranty (39 months/60,000 miles) covering all BMW supplied equipment, not just the motorcycle, for less down-time. Highest electrical output with 52A (720W) alternator producing 27A at idle. A partial-integral antilock braking system with independent rear wheel brake control for optimal control at speed or maneuvering through traffic. Optimized suspension and tires (passing the CHP run-flat protocol) specifically for police service.Bmw R 1200 Rt - News

Step 1 — Locate ‘mold circle’ indentation on each side fairing panel (Pic 1). With panel mounted on bike, this indentation is center, at rear inside panel edge, and faces inside. Temporarily install bracket as shown in (Pic 2), align bottom bracket hole over indentation and mark for hole. Remove brackets at this time.
Step 2 — Remove fairing body side panels. Four screws per side required for removal, see owners manual. Drill a 3/8” hole at mark. If harness kit has not been installed, do not re-install left side panel until finished unless you remove tank to install harness. Removal of the tank is the best option to route harness from battery area to front of the bike.
Step 3 — As required, re-install fairing body side panels. Do not re-install the top factory inner panel Torx Screw yet, as you will re-use this screw to secure the top light bracket mounting hole to the fairing panel.
Step 4 — Using 10/32×1/2 screws and black shoulder washers from Hardware package, secure lights to PIAA Ezy-Mount® brackets (See Pics 3 & 4). Right side bracket is stamped ‘EZY-MOUNT’. See note below for Powersports lights. Due to close proximity of the light body to fairing side panel, access to the vertical adjustment screw on the panel side of the light will not be possible after installation. To prepare for this; before installing bracket/light assembly to panel, make sure this screw is tightened so that you can barely move the light body. After bracket is installed, final vertical adjustment can be secured with the inside screw. Torque on this screw is adequate to hold vertical adjustment, and the screw that faces the panel will not come loose.
