Looks slow at the start, but speeds pick up pretty quick.

Was that a retractable windscreen?

and continued the pursuit on foot. Awesome. Nicely done.

[GuardRail-Mike]

Thats amazing on its own lol. Those cops had their shi* together though props

Are there any ZX-14's that are police bikes?

No, they need to be able to turn

Twowheel, I forgot about that part of it.

Just thinking for "keeping up " speed, a 14 should do it.

I was honestly just being a dick lol But anyway, as long as the bad guys follow the "straight line" rule the 14 would rule.

Rider was smooth getting off bike and starting foot chase. Almost missed it.

Almost thought he was still on the bike, but you could see his gloved hand flipping up into view as he ran.

Entertaining. The guy was slightly faster than the cops on foot.

Those cops are using Contour Roam cameras for helmet video. He was definitely trying to keep up with him.

[Mykill]

Oil-head BMW. He's lucky it didn't explode at those speeds.

I was referring to the foot race but my post didnt specify. It was interesting to watch him try to keep up on the bike and not die.

It's a Mazda 3...you can run those down with a moped... Are these bmws really that slow??

No they're not. I think he was being uber careful in traffic trying to not get killed. All the while knowing he can run down the Mazda at will

[ReconRat]

When he hit the bridgeway with no cross roads, you can see him hammer the shifts.

But still wasn't what you'd call fast. Just faster than what he was chasing.

I want to be a motor cycle cop...LOL

[oldschoolsdime92]

I won't lie , that looked like a lot of fun. I sure would not want that job , but the video looked fun.

Obetz has a GSXR. 750 or 1000 don't remember witch, 750 I think

[redkow97]

I think MC cops actually keep a healthier distance to avoid the perp slamming on the brakes and taking the bike out when it slams into the bumper.

Keeping up is good. Catching is bad.

[NinjaNick]

Oklahoma State Patrol has Busa.

[Gixxus Christ!]

Perp could run like hell tho, he had a few hundred feet on the cops at one point, then got cut off by a detective car. If not for that car he probably coulda lost them.

Once the LEO got to that open road and started slamming gears I even smiled lol. Loved how he could stop and look then easily real the car back in. He is on the perfect bike for the job IMO.
