Thanks to the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally, Kawasaki Motor Corp and Factory Motor Sports the Baker City Police received two new Kawasaki KLR 650′s on March 13th. The presentation was made by Miss Oregon, Kari Virding, at Factory Motor Sports in Oregon City. Representing the Baker City Police are Chief Wyn Lohner and Sargent Wayne Bailey. These bikes will be used for patrol in the Baker City area. So if you see a KLR in your rearview mirror, BE GOOD!
I was wondering if you can share with me the upgrades that were done to this bike. Anything that is good for the Police is good enough for me as I will be doing contract Homeland Security work in the states.
Thanks,
Alan
I am a Deputy Sheriff with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and ride a 98′ KLR650 daily as part of my patrol duties in a rural county. I love it and can’t wait to get to work each day just to get on it.
My department just recently purchased 5 of the 2009 KLR’s. We previously rode the Suzuki 400DRZ. We have gotten our new bike fully outfitted including new graphics & led lights. We had them assigned 2 weeks ago. My partner and I ride a couple days a week as we both are retired from other agencies. Going from the DRZ to the KLR is like going from a VW to a Cadilac.
