California just stopped buying those. Councours (modified for police duty) is the new CHP standard, though the BMWs will continue in use so long as it's economical to repair them. Many, but not all, local police forces will piggyback on the CHP deal and buy them too, though the local PDs tend to keep bikes around for a lot longer. LAPD still has some of the old Harleys and seem to be willing to keep them so long as the officers assigned to them still want them.We just got these in Michigan over the summer, finally got rid of some of the Harleys.

Here ya go, the new Concours. They Kawi's are fast!! Some of the beemers out there have over 160K miles!! They use to run them out at 60k miles, but due to the State budget cuts and the lack of new bikes, guys are riding them into the dirt otherwise they would lose their bikes.California just stopped buying those.

We have those here on the beach too. Very appropriate for patrolling pedestrian areas. Sure, you're not going to catch anybody in a car, but that's not their purpose, it's to patrol in areas where there are no cars, or where congestion prevents cars from moving much at all. You can get down the Vegas strip faster on a bike most nights than you can on most cars or motorcycles. (Unless you get really lucky about splitting lanes.) Here by the beach, a patrol vehicle is useless except for getting kind of close. The guys on mountain bikes catch crooks on foot all the time.The last time I was in Vegas, I saw officers on bicycles lol.A ninja 250 or a crf250 would be a upgrade to some anyway.
