unmarked police bike

[scarborough_lad]

there's an unmarked police bike about in Yorkshire, its s black BMW k1300 and the rider is in all black. I saw it parked up in Pickering with the usual hidden blue lights and cameras, don't have the registration as I didn't want to be seen looking too closely. just to let you guys know

Seems black K1300s are quite popular as unmarked police bikes. I've seen one on the A35, not sure if it belonged to Hampshire or Dorset police though, it was pretty much near the border.

No doubt he will be riding about like a dick and egging on other riders to race then doing them for it.

I thought you don't have to stopped for an unmarked car/bike as it could be anyone ?

There's an unmarked black Fireblade and a Red VFR(new one) with Bike Safe stickers all over it around Cambridgeshire.

Was speaking to the guys that sold it to the police at Honda, both wear black leathers with white helmets and aren't generally too nice with their lettings off, i.e. they don't let you off!

Moral of this story is be careful around a quick bike with a rider with a white helmet (as it's their work helmet with all the comms bits fitted) who may also possibly be wearing hi-viz (as instructed by the health and safety officer ).


...in summary the white helmet is normally a bit of a clue.

This guy didn't have a white helmet... it was either grey or silver... didn't see a logo but had a pointy-down chin like a lot of AGVs do

When I got my S59 it was from a plain black 05 plate Fireblade with an Oxford tankbag and rider in plain black leathers with Alpinestars boots and Black patterned AGV helmet. The only clues he was police was a small (3" x 1") police patch sewn on the front of his 2 piece and a small box with button ( I presume for radio) connected to his chest.

From 10 yards you wouldn't have thought he was police at all, let alone filming you.

Ohhh

So that's why they have the silver MET cars with the tiny blue sticker on the side... so it's technically "marked"

There is no offence for failing to stop for an unmarked unit, however it would be treated as a failing to stop and marked units would be on you pretty quickly. It's highly unlikely that the officers won't be wearing any from of uniform though.

I've not seen any suspect unmarked bikes yet, I either can't spot them or they aren't common around Beds, Herts and Bucks. Plenty of marked up cop cars sitting around this weekend, but no bother from any of them. From my experience, Beds Police are pretty sound, hope my views stay the same over the summer!

There's shit loads of em on silver/grey hayabusa's between York and Scarborough, usually all single tone colours.

When I was giving it large down the M2, I was tugged by an unmarked R1, all black, all black gear, black lid... only thing different was indicators on mirrors had blue lights, along with standard indicators fitted on the fairing.

He did say, check for the cable by my left side next time. After obviously bullying me with how I killed kittens and posed a huge threat to humanity in my car.
