Facts about the model
The police have had various vehicles at their disposal over the years. Motorcycles were used in different police districts, but it wasn't until 1954 that the National Police initiated a comprehensive program with the primary goal of more effective traffic monitoring, which included the systematic use of motorcycles. They also established centralized training for the riders.
Initially, various brands were acquired, but in 1954, the first BMW models, the R67, were introduced. Eventually, BMW and their boxer engines with shaft drive came to dominate. BMW had already manufactured their first motorcycle with a boxer engine and shaft drive, the R32, in 1923. In the late 1950s, the motorcycles used by the National Police were white with black striping and chrome tank sides. After the nationalization of the police authority in 1965, all motorcycles adopted a similar appearance. With the first delivery of the BMW R60/5 and R75/5 in April 1971, the motorcycles became all-white. To reduce costs, chrome was also eliminated from the fuel tanks. The R80/7 model was later introduced, but eventually, the boxer engine was phased out of service. When the new K75 with an inline engine was introduced in 1986, the boxer motorcycles were gradually phased out. In 1989, the last of the R-series motorcycles were retired, but this turned out to be temporary. In 1996, BMW introduced a completely new factory-produced motorcycle, the R1100 RT, marking the comeback of the boxer engine, much to the delight of many police officers. However, that's a completely different story.
