Cool looking bike, must be fun to ride. The mods from Police spec look well done. To answer ID’s question: The West Midlands Police used Interpols for about a decade from about 1983. They were sold to other forces too, and the RAC ran a few as well. Not sure but I think the military used them for a while as well. The engine itself was widely used in drone (unmanned) aircraft that were used as target practice for AA guns and missles. The US military was the biggest customer for this and I suspect more engines were used in this role than were fitted to bikes.
Small aside: In 1985 my Dad was pulled over by Norton mounted copper while I was in the car with him. He got let off whatever it was!What is happening with the Norton brand now? I have read about a new bike coming (see earlier posts on this subject).

I have a 1998 Yamaha Thundercat, a 1986 Yamaha RD350YPVS and a 1982 Honda CB250RS-D.
You can find out more about them on some of my earlier posts in this section.What bike do you want when you can ride legally, I started on the road with a Honda CB100N when I was 17. But I had thrashed an ancient Honda C50 about off, and borrowed my sisters Honda C90 road before that.
Donate – it makes you feel good!I nearly bought a 500 Camel around the time I got my CB250RS. I believe this re-launch is all Italian.

In the Forum99 cafe section there is a post about bikers favourite music. Take a look in there. Failing that, like somebody else wrote just go for his favourite general track. I like all sorts of music and my favourite track is nothing to do with being a biker or biking.
I hope that you get something sorted.

Have a great Christmas Cookeye! Look forward to hearing from you in 2005. Went past Wheels in Suffolk the other day and that reminded me of you curiously enough.

“suzuki” thought I’d throw that in just to see what happens.Somwehow I missed a fellow Yamaha fan joining. Clearly a person of some taste and discernment!!
Welcome aboard Yam-mad, give us more detail detail on the FZR
Donate – it makes you feel good!Sound advice from Kat and Hollie(!) there.
Other ways of telling on the bike:
Km rather than MPH speedo.
Headlight – make sure it dips the correct way for the UK.
Colours and graphics – check you have a colour scheme availble here in the UK.I have a parallel import T Cat and a mate has 97 CBR600 that is an import too. Niether of us have had any problems.
Enjoy!!
