1) Good looking police bike! It'll find favor with the HD crowd that doesn't want any of the other choices (i.e. non-cruiser style police bike)

2) Its DOA if it doesn't have ABS brakes. As an officer protection / injury liability containment issue, ABS brakes are all but required now.

3) If the alternator isn't at least 700W, then its also DOA. The assortment of radios, cameras, information systems now being slathered over police bikes require LOTS of power from the charging system. A few departments are even fitting rolling radar units on the bikes.
