Met Police - Xmax replacing MP3

[Scootypuff snr]

they should have gone for the tmax personally right amount of power to do the job.

I guess in central London, performance isn't so important as agility and traffic busting ability. A Tmax would find it more difficult to worm its way round grid locked traffic.

Hit the nail on the head.

Because the svelte figure of a RT1200 cuts like a knife through butter.
Its a status thing in the Met as to who rides what

Sh300 would be best for the plod given that.

Possibly not enough storage for all of their gear.

That raises a point...the big boys on the RT1200s have blue lights and sirens to persuade others to move out of the way, but will the guys on Xmaxs have blue lights???

[StephenC]

Yes, they do.

They used to have them on their mountain bikes.
