New Plod Bikes.

New Plod Bikes.

I see the Gardaí are finally looking to replace the overworked deauvilles and the remaining functioning FJRs.

2 types being sought with an initial order of up to 20 Police Spec bikes of 50KW Max Engine output, and up to 20 Police Spec bikes of 90 to 110 KW.
The 50kw will be :
White
Petrol engine (Euro 3 emissions)
Manual Gearbox
ABS
450W Alternator
Heated Grips
Side & Centre stand
Single Seat
Full fairing & Adjustable screen
Panniers
DRLs

The 90-110KW will be
White
Petrol engine (Euro 3 emissions)
Manual Gearbox
ABS/TCS
540W Alternator
Heated Grips
Side & Centre stand
Single Seat
Full fairing & Adjustable screen
Panniers

Surprised there was no requirement for shaft drive.
Not much out there that fits the bill, in the smaller category and no sign of electric scooters either.
