Kawasaki police motorcycles

All have inline, 4-cylinder, normally-aspirated four-stroke, double overhead-cam engines and chain drives, and larger generating systems than similar civilian models.

The most obvious difference between the KZP and the earlier series was the addition of a fiberglass fairing, to which the front pursuit lights and windshield were mounted.

These included a spring-cushioned saddle, and a speedometer equipped with a solenoid to trap the indicator needle against the glass when the pursuit lights were activated, to mark the speed at which a lawbreaker was traveling at the time.

Kawasaki produced Police Specials for the North American market in a plant in Lincoln, Nebraska, with the last one built in September, 2005.

Operators include the California Highway Patrol, Los Angeles Police Department, and other major agencies, primarily throughout the western United States.

[citation needed] The dealers stopped building new Concours 14Ps after a number of electrical failures took 268 bikes out of service for repairs.
