Makes me wonder if I should keep the speed down when heading up to the ranch.

I think so, I've seen that elsewhere
 
If I remember correctly, it is used for public relations rather than highway patrol.
 
I beleive that's one they obtained from a drug bust.
 
Those things have been around for a couple years now. Sweet bikes. I wouldn't mind having one.

Very much real:

Today the Patrol operates a fleet of Harley Davidson Highway King and Electra Glide motorcycles.

The dominant mission of the motorcycle division is traffic enforcement.

The motorcycles are assigned to Oklahoma City and Tulsa, working the lank traffic corridors that canter through the two cities.

In addition to traffic enforcement the unit also provides escorts for special events such as Presidential visits,promote motorcycle safety and conduct other appropriate duties assigned by the Chief's office.


In 2005 the Oklahoma Highway Patrol seized a Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa motorcycle.

:tabThe Hayabusa motorcycle is a sportbike type motorcycle, and with its introduction in 1999 the Hayabusa took the title of speed king

:tabThe seized OHP Hayabusa hit the interstate with a radar unit, emergency lights and siren, Corbin saddlebags, and a fresh OHP tempera job

:tabThe response to the OHP 'Busa was overwhelming

:tabTwo extra have been purchased and can be found patrolling the OKC Metro area, as well as managerial special appearances at local motorcycle events
 
I think it needs some tastefully done white stripes to give it a more genuine "black and white' authoritative look.
