Kawasaki Police 1400 from Kelly’s Kawasaki, AZ

admin — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 16:46:28 +0000

Introducing the Kawasaki POLICE1400 ENFORCER, the next step in the evolution of Law Enforcement vehicles.

Performance comes naturally to Kawasaki, seeing as how we already had the performance part of the equation nailed with the ZX™-14 sportbike. The bike’s amazing 1,352cc engine and unique
monocoque frame lent themselves perfectly to an exciting new class of sport touring motorcycles. The Concours 14 ABS was born and immediately rose to the top of the critic’s lists.

Now the next-generation Concours 14 benefits from an entire laundry list of comfort, convenience and safety items, carefully engineered to surpass all expectations of what a perfect sport tourer should be.
Based upon the highly acclaimed 2011 Concours 14 ABS, Kelly’s Kawasaki offers the 2011 POLICE 1400 ENFORCER,
built for operator comfort and to withstand the high demands of the tough everyday job.

The POLICE 1400 ENFORCER, already in use by several Law Enforcement Agencies nationwide, can be equipped according to any local or regional regulations and fulfills the highest standards.

Key Features:

• Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC)
• Kawasaki Advanced Co-Active-Braking Technology (K-Act)
• Heated Grips
• Electrically-Adjustable Windshield
• Heat-Dissipating Bodywork

Kawasaki ZG1400 by Enforcement Motors

admin — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 03:57:59 +0000

Enforcement Motors and Kawasaki

Written by Kim Calderwood

Kawasaki and law enforcement have a long and established history. It is a track record built upon proven, reliable performance and years of low maintenance costs.

The KZ1000 has been a popular police motor, and as we move to the future, the ZG1400 will continue the bloodline for the next generation with everything one would expect from Kawasaki.
The ZG1400 introduces high-performance technology to police motors. This next generation Kawasaki includes a monocoque aluminum frame and the Tetra-Lever Shaft Drive, which was designed to offset the traditional lifting and squatting tendencies of a shaft drive. This was also done to improve the power band response to one that is quick and smooth through the entire range of operation.

Additionally, the ZG1400 has a dual floating 310mm petal disc system with four-piston calipers that are coupled with a highly advanced ABS system to boost safety in low traction stopping situations.
On top of the performance upgrades, the ZG1400 offers a comfortable cockpit, with full easy-to-read and easy-to-use instrumentation and the user-friendly KiPass system that provides unparalleled ease of use and safety for officers. Officers will no longer need to worry about fumbling for keys or worry about the safety of the motor when forced to move away from it quickly. This new Kawasaki has a curb weight of 680 pounds, is quick and maneuverable, and will exceed the motor officer’s expectations.

Emergency Gear Upfit

At the core of the Enforcement Motors Package is a sleek radio box. It is a covered enclosure with plenty of room for storage, which also houses the radio equipment and fused power for additional accessories. From the radio box, all power is routed for the control of all the Enforcement Motors Package. A switch pod located within the rider’s control, another Enforcement Motors Package exclusive, controls all of the additional features.

The Enforcement Motors Package includes lighting from Whelen Engineering, which is versatile, reliable and available in a wide array of flash patterns.

The package consists of three front-facing LINZ6 LED split lights, two of which are mounted in the custom sleek front mirrors, and the third is mounted in the custom center pod, directly under the windscreen. On the radio box, a strip light with additional brake/tail/turn lights is mounted for rear visibility. For side visibility one LINZ6 light is mounted on each side under the mirrors and one Vertex is mounted on each side of the radio box. To complete the Enforcement Motors Package, drop bars are added on the front and rear with four M4 LED lights.

The package is made complete with a Whelen siren and speaker. Just like the old workhorse KZ1000, the new ZG1400 will provide the same low maintenance cost and factory warranty policies that Kawasaki has built its reputation upon through years of dependable service. Enforcement Motors can provide complete fitted ZG1400, ready for duty, right down to your agency’s colors.

Buell Releases the Ulysses Police Model

admin — Fri, 23 May 2008 17:05:04 +0000

Click the image above to go to the site

The new Buell Ulysses® Police XB12XP offers government agencies and private security firms a quick and very nimble “special duty” patrol vehicle that is capable of travel over a variety of terrain, from open highways to city streets to unpaved back-country roads.

Based on the versatile Buell Ulysses adventure sportbike, the Ulysses Police features long-travel suspension, generous ground clearance and aggressive tires that allow it to tackle roads too rough or narrow for confident travel in an automobile or on a traditional police motorcycle. On smooth pavement, the Ulysses Police is an agile sport motorcycle. The Ulysses Police can also accommodate a passenger. Available for order through Buell dealers as of Tuesday, May 27 2008, production of the 2009 Ulysses Police is scheduled to begin in August 2008.

Special features of the Ulysses Police include hard-shell top and side cases, each removable and lockable. The side cases are narrower than the standard Ulysses accessory side cases, allowing for more clearance in tight situations. On the Ulysses Police model, the Buell Triple Tail system functions as a luggage rack with tie-down hooks over the rear seat position, or as a cushioned passenger backrest with grab rails. A tall windshield, heated hand grips, and handlebar deflectors are also standard equipment. An available emergency response kit provides a siren and an LED lighting package in three different color configurations (Red/Blue, Red/Red, or Blue/Blue).

The Ulysses Police is powered by an air/oil/fan-cooled, fuel-injected Buell Thunderstorm 1203cc V-Twin engine that delivers 103 peak horsepower. This engine’s broad powerband and abundant torque gives the Ulysses the ability to proceed at lower speeds over uneven or unpaved roads with less gear shifting, and to deliver instant bursts of acceleration. The Ulysses Police has an EPA fuel mileage rating of 51 mpg urban/64 mpg highway*. A Goodyear Hibrex final drive belt with Flexten Plus technology is durable and never needs adjustment or lubrication.

Premium Showa front and rear suspension is fully adjustable. Rear spring preload can be adjusted for passenger and gear weight simply by turning a dial located below the left side of the seat. Suspension travel is 6.5 inches in front and 6.4 inches at the rear. Ground clearance is 6.75 inches.

The Ulysses Police features a 4.4-gallon fuel reservoir integrated into the aluminum frame. The lower center of mass achieved by carrying fuel in the frame, rather than in a tank located high on top of the frame, enhances rider confidence on and off pavement. The muffler is located below the engine to further lower the center of gravity and centralize mass for improved handling in all situations. Low unsprung weight helps keep the tires in contact with uneven road surfaces for improved control. The 17-inch, six-spoke, reinforced cast-aluminum wheels feature a durable rim design, and Pirelli Scorpion Sync tires deliver good traction on paved and unpaved roads. A dual front fender system provides debris protection for the rider and the bike.

The Ulysses Police will be offered in two color choices: Birch White and Midnight Black.

or more information about ordering special duty vehicles, please visit the Harley-Davidson Police and Fire/Rescue Division.

*Based on tests conducted under lab conditions per U.S. EPA test procedures. Mileage will vary depending on personal riding habits, weather conditions, trip length and vehicle condition.
