Malaysian Police Motorcycle

       
       Okey. We talked much about our superbike. Now its time to talk about motorcycle that used by Polis Di Raja Malaysia (PDRM), the Traffic Unit in Malaysia. These units established since 25 March 1805, but officially under their Malaysian Government since 1967. Since then, they using cars and motorcycles for patrolling. These are the model of motorcycle that used by PDRM Traffic Division since 1967 until today.


  1. Honda CBX 750 (1988-present)


                   The CBX750, or RC17 is a Honda Motorcycle sold primarily in Europe, South Africa and Australia. Manufactured from 1984 to 1988, the CBX750 was developed from the CB750, in parallel with the VF750, a wholly new design. It is also used for motorcycle police in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Turkey, Gibraltar and Ireland.The pre-1988 CBX750 had a 16-inch-diameter (410 mm) front wheel, which restricts replacement tire choice.

                 For police mode,like others country, CBX750P used same engine as Honda CBX750 but it is physically more similar to Honda CB700SC with shaft drive. However, unlike the Honda CB700SC, CBX750P uses a slipper clutch (back-torque limiter) and diaphragm spring to engage clutch. The motorcycle also has 4 safety guards (2 on each side), a meter-stop option (to record top speed), loud speakers, and no fuel gauge.

  2. Honda VRF 800 (2000-present)

     
          Introduced by PDRM Trafic Divisions in early 2000, Honda VRF 800 has been used for traffic, patrol, pursuit, escort, interceptor (black bike with rider and pillion; black colored, used by Pasukan Gerakan Khas, a.k.a. Special Operation Command, the counter-terrorist units).

          The Honda VFR800, also known in some markets as the Interceptor, is a motorcycle sold by Honda since 1998 featuring a V-4 engine configuration shared with the Honda VF and VFR family of motorcycles. The VFR features heavier construction and a more upright riding position than a pure sport bike, though lower than a cruiser. Lighter and more aggressive than a pure touring bike, the "viffer" revived the category known as the sport touring bike, the first created by the BMW R100RS.

  3. Honda ST13000 (2003-present)


          Introduced by PDRM Trafic Divisions in mid of  2003, same like Honda VRF 800, Honda ST13000  has been used for traffic, patrol, pursuit, escort, interceptor (black bike with rider and pillion; black colored, used by Pasukan Gerakan Khas, a.k.a. Special Operation Command, the counter-terrorist units)
              The Honda ST1300 is a fully-faired touring motorcycle which proves that the performance that comes with a sport bike and the luxury associated with a long-distance tour are not mutually exclusive goals. In fact, they can coexist quite happily on one motorcycle, and the ST1300 ABS proves it. This is a great bike for those who want to ride many miles in comfort and security without sacrificing bad-boy power and performance.
  4. Modenas Kriss (1996-2013)


          Classic. Real classic. What I can say? This Modenas Kriss introduced by PDRM Trafic Divisions in 1996, and replaced to Kawasaki Ninja at 2013, although you still can see a few of this motorcycle until today.
         This motorcycle only used for patrolling at district, and its never be an pursuit motorcycle. But most novice police uses this model as their new assignment. Most of this motorcycle is currently replaced to brand new Kawasaki Ninja 300.


  5. Kawasaki KLX 250 (1985-2005, replaced to KLX250S until present)


           Okey, this is the bike that you should not mess with. Kawasaki KLX250 is a scrambler motor cross that used by PDRM for off road patrol, Search and Rescue and Search and Destroy. Hell, impressive right. Kawasaki KLX250 replaced to a four stroke Kawasaki KLX250S. So what do you think now? Doing outlaw in the jungle is a good idea?
         This motorcycle used by PDRM and PGA, Ranger Force to patrol illegal activities like deforestation, and illegal logging. Its also used to find criminal that hiding in the jungle. So, PDRM cool! 


  6. Kawasaki Ninja 300 (2013-present)

            Okey everyone. This is a nightmare for those mat-rempit out there. This Kawasaki Ninja is not just and ordinary Ninja, Its upgrade and installed racing spec parts, that makes this super bike could go faster than usual. Even most of the time they used to patrolling, but this super bike is a special pursuit unit. In other words, you should not mess whenever you see this beast on the road.
          So the conclusion here, Polis DiRaja Malaysia are committed to keep Malaysian people safe. So they wont fall behind like the other country. Our Malaysian Police Force has high standard as Indonesia, Singapore and others country around Asia. Their skill are good on handling patrol car like Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, and also as super bike like Kawasaki Ninja 300. Show Them respect that they deserve. Have a good day people~
