Notice the bikes are BMW's... More & more PD's are getting BMW's. I just want to know why the switch from Harley?
"COMING TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD Canton police officers are taking to the streets in four new BMW motorcycles officers say are better suited for crime-fighting in urban areas than the old Harley-Davidson motorcycles the city typically uses for parades and funerals. Detective Leroy Adams and Lt. Linda Brown prepare to head out on two of them.
REPOSITORY JULIE VENNITT"

Ok so I answered my own questions but isn't Buell owned by Harley

I guess it's really no big deal.. Just like is they switched out all the Crown Vicks & Impala's for a Honda Civics.
