To the S10.
I ve only seen them running FJR's ST1300's and of course the ubiquitous 1200RT.

It would be MY choice. I love the FJR, but slow speed handling is not it's forte'. The RT is very good, as long as it can be traded in before the problems start. The ST1300 is fine, no real complaints, BUT the Tenere….nimble, quick, fast, and can hop curbs....perfect tool for the job. But, s**t can the OE bags, and that stupid telescoping rear emergency light.
EDIT: I forgot one of the most important reasons/feature of the Tenere….rear brake only. BMW used to have separate front & rear brake activation for LE, but not anymore.

I want to see the guy on the right actually get into that car. I have enough trouble getting into a Charger.

They’re not such bad people after all.

Here's one from the archive, circa 1968.
I witnessed something similar, as a lad, when De Gaulle was under threat from the OAS - they ran with a huge pack of armed officers who closed all the roads ahead to allow the entourage to speed through. It seemed threatening at the time, my parents & I being stopped at gunpoint, but would seem almost comically insecure today.

Hey! Les gars arrêter de rire des Français c’est mes cousins!
I had to spend a good deal of time in BKK and wouldn't be surprised if those Bimmers are for escorting VIPs. Few others got a bike with more than 250 cc.

Damn, when I saw the thread title I was hopeing that they had given up with the 80 kph speed limit.
Probably why they're using them is that they're narrow enough to allow lane-splitting during pursuits.

French police have always been running TDM's -- so no wonder they go to the S10 when the time comes for new bikes.
