Pretty much anyone with a liter super sport has run from the cops at some point, unless they got it to squid out around town(usually with a basketball jersey and backwards cap)

Those bikes go 180...and can get to 100 in seconds. So eventually you'll get hit with a radar gun going so fast, you are going to jail if you pull over. So most just ditch.

Basically..dont buy one.

Make sure to watch with the volume off.


Unless you like the sound of a horned up mosquito in your ear.

Future organ donor.

No way I’d ride on a shoulder like that with all the junk and debris that’s usually there.

Once upon a time when I was at an old job, there was a guy who rode a really fast bike any day it was even close to nice. He would absolutely fly. We had a stretch of nice days one summer where he rode for a couple weeks straight. Every day he was wide open. One day he passed a state trooper running radar who lit him up, but he had the jump and the trooper lost him. The next day was the same thing with the same cop, but he got a little bit closer. The next day he got closer. The trooper finally managed to see where he turned in, but he waited a bit. He rode the parking lot and found the bike. He came in about 20 minutes after the guy clocked in and found the supervisor's office. He asked the boss who the bike belonged to. He arrested the guy in front of everyone, had the bike impounded, and charged him with everything he could.
The guy had bragged about it, so he knew the trooper had clocked him and was after him. He ended up getting fired not long after that. I think he's in jail now for trying to kill his girlfriend who was actually his side piece.

It’s comical to me when cops will actually chase a motor cycle on the interstate.

I know it doesn’t make it right but driving 120+ in some moronic attempt to catch a bike that can easily do over 140 running from you is so far from safe.

Plus, if the bike gets on the surface streets and the rider has any little bit of ability, the bike is getting away.

They can cut through traffic way too easy and change directions with very little effort.

Like Princess Elsa sang, “Let It Go”

Thought most departments had stopped chasing bikers once they started running because they usually ended up killing themselves and it was easier not to have to mop up and write paperwork.

Ran from the cops on my R6 at over 100 mph once. I didn’t intend to, but I was riding with a friend and we passed the cop and he hit the lights -my friend and I looked at each other then he hit the throttle, so I was like “Okay, this is happening.” I hit the throttle too and we jumped to over 100. I think the cop gave up pretty quickly.

And I wasn’t a dumb teenager - I was a 40something year old dentist with a wife and 3 kids at home. Realized how stupid it was and never rode on the street again after that day. Bought a trailer and started doing track days only. Literally never rode on the street again. Once you hit the track, street riding isn’t fun anymore anyway.

Don't understand why the cop would even give chase Sportbikes they are too maneuverable and too fast for a Police Cruiser to keep up. The only way that bike is getting caught is through the use of an aircraft.

My dad (no pics) was a Surgeon and an E.R. Doc. Always called them "Donor-cycles".

And dude was on a motorcycle. This is a bike.

Most of the cars were going so fast in reverse that it was annoying to the bike rider....

Most cops don't even try once they see you run.

When I used to do dumb shite on my CBR1000, I ran multiple times. Only got in two actual chases though. Most of the time they don't pursue. Hit lights, see you speed up and turn them off. No real point in trying and risking anyone's life. In Alachua they won't pursue past I believe 110.

To be honest though...the adrenaline rush is hard to match. Seeing the cop, seeing the lights flash, and just opening it up and tucking knowing it's do or die.

Which is why I will never buy another supersport. it's just to tempting and having that much power and speed under you is damn near impossible to not use.

Yes. Plenty of tracks around and they all have motorcycle days.
