It's a strange read when you see that in Richmond Country, Georgia, USA  , the motorcycle police prefer Honda motorcycles over their Harley-Davidson ones, even if Harley has been a traditional supplier of LEOLaw Enforcement Officer - any kind of Police Officer: municipal, state, federal or national. bikes since their existence.
But according to the Richmond cops (and other places in the USA), although the Hondas are much more expensive, they are safer, lighter and easier to use. Also, an important factor is when in pursuit, the Harley takes its time, while the Honda reaches faster speeds much quicker. Also having a water-cooled Honda engine is a blessing when temperatures go over the 100°F. But according to the cops, the Harley looks better.....

So price is not the factor. A typical LEO Harley-Davidson will cost them $14,300, while a Honda costs $16,671. The county currently have 8 Honda, 2 Honda on order and 2 Harley-Davidson (plus 5 "spare" Harleys).
Funny seeing police prefer motorcycle from other manufacturers then from their own country, but I guess if your safety and performance is at stake......
