I went to Texas DPS training last year when Harley Davidson brought their Motor Unit fleet down to the new DPS training facility. They were showing off their "top of the line" bike...
They were most proud of the hockey puck shaped knob on the top of the rear bag that made it possible to open the case while wearing gloves.
Seriously. THAT is what they were most proud of.
After riding the BMW motor unit (RTP) for three years there was nothing I liked about the Harley Davidson unit. It was really hot, as in literally HOT burning temperature. The controls were difficult to get to light them all up siren/lights/etc. AND, they had no LEDs. The BMWs have every control within thumb distance that can be completely lit up with very little work.
I won't even get into the motor and handling...
