Being a motor myself there are the four standard types everyone is using now at least in Florida.
The BMW R1200RT-P (which I believe was in the picture)
The Honda ST1300
The Kawasaki Concourse 1300
The Harley in its various incarnations.
I wish Yamaha would make a cross plane R1 inspired bike! Haven't even seen an FJ package yet!
I'm not a 'motor', but I do ride and have friends who are (retired) 'motors' from San Jose.
The BMW is the bike of choice out here as well, but there are plenty of HDs out there still. I questioned why anybody would want such an underpowered/overweight pig of a bike for patrol. Was it just a 'buy American' thing or what? Then I rode one for a day and was surprised. Yeah, it's slow and isn't exactly confidence inspiring at speed, but it does carry it's weight pretty low and is surprisingly easy to maneuver at parking lot speeds. And they do spend a fair amount of time riding those things at little more than a walking pace.
As for the FJR, I've ridden those as well and found them a little top-heavy. Great power, and would make a good 'motor' for pursuits and freeway patrols but maybe not great for parade-duty work.
Kind of the same thing with the Honda and Kawi, though I haven't ridden the latest versions of either.
I will admit the HD does sound better than any of them though.
