INTRODUCTION
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department first implemented its police vehicle testing program in 1974, and motorcycle testing in 2008. Since that time, our Department has become nationally recognized as a major source of information relative to police vehicles and their use.
This year’s motorcycle evaluation was conducted October 10th – 13th, 2017 by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
All major manufacturers of police motorcycles were invited to participate. BMW, Harley Davidson, Honda and Yamaha, submitted motorcycles for evaluation. The motorcycles submitted were:
*2018 BMW R 1200 RT-P *2018 Yamaha FJR 1300 *2018 Harley-Davidson FLHTP (Electra) *2018 Harley-Davidson FLHP (Road King) *2016 Honda ST 1300-P
All of the motorcycles submitted satisfactorily.
The testing process is designed to address the law enforcement officer’s operational requirements in terms of motor-cycle performance, safety, and comfort. The fleet maintenance interest is addressed by performing an extensive me-chanical evaluation on each motorcycle submitted.
Each test is designed and executed to simulate actual field use conditions as closely as possible. Law enforcement motorcycle personnel conduct the evaluations on city streets, freeways, and the performance track.
This book is not intended as a recommendation for any specific motorcycle contained within, nor is it designed to rank the motorcycles in any order. Our motorcycle testing program is conducted in order to accomplish two prima-ry goals. To provide law enforcement agencies with the data necessary to assist those in the motorcycle selection process, and to provide the various motorcycle manufacturers with the input necessary to better meet the needs of law enforcement.
We recognize the fact that individual agency needs can be influenced by cost, operational considerations and other factors. As such, interpretation of test results is the responsibility of each agency, and should be made based upon that agency’s needs.
It is our goal to provide law enforcement agencies with the information they require to successfully evaluate and select the right motorcycle for their needs. We believe that we have accomplished that goal.

32 LAP HIGH-SPEED COURSE TEST RIDER'S SUBJECTIVE EVALUATION
This evaluation is conducted on a high-speed riding course. It is designed to evaluate, identify and elimi-nate the obvious unacceptable motorcycles (i.e., those motorcycles that are demonstrably unstable or oth-erwise exhibit unsafe characteristics).
For this evaluation, four riders are used for each motorcycle. Each rider completes eight laps around our 1.46 mile test track at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, for a total of 32 timed laps. Lap timing is via a GPS based Race Logic “Drift Box 02” with a “Video VBOX” Data logger” utilized for secondary lap tim-ing. Both Data logger units are mounted on the motorcycle. The fastest and the slowest lap times are elim-inated, the remaining six lap times are averaged. The average time and speed are recorded next to the rid-er’s name.
There are four Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC) motorcycle training instructor riders. Two are from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and two are from Los Angeles Police Department, that share the riding and evaluation of these motorcycles.
At the conclusion of the preliminary handling portion of the evaluation, each rider completes a "Rider’s Subjective Evaluation" form. If the motorcycle is judged unacceptable in this preliminary review, it is rejected and not subjected to further evaluation.
CITY COURSE
This evaluation is for motorcycles identified by the manufacturer as intended for law enforcement use. This evaluation is conducted on a closed 2.6 mile city street course which closely represents the environ-ment most urban law enforcement agencies must contend with. The course has several straight-a-ways and consists of multiple right and left turns and obstacles in the roadway.
This is the final track evaluation, and the manufacturers, if they so choose, are allowed to rebuild the motorcycles brake system prior to this portion of the evaluation process.
For this evaluation, two riders are used for each motorcycle. Each rider completes two laps around the city course. Lap timing is via a GPS based “VBOX Datalogger” timing device, mounted on the motorcycle. The combined times of the two laps are recorded next to the rider's name.

BASIC MOTORCYCLE PATTERNS
Five circle patterns will be used to determine each motorcycle’s minimum turning radius. The diameters of the circles will be 20, 19, and 18 feet. The circle pattern will be entered at a speed of 2-3 mph. Once inside the circle, the rider will make three revolutions in one direction, exit the circle and make three more revolu-tions in the opposite direction. The circle pattern will be ridden in first gear.
Each motorcycle will be ridden in five different 180 degree U-Turn patterns. The diameters of the U-Turns will be 20, 19, 18, 17, and 16 feet. The U-Turn will be entered at a speed of 2-3 mph in first gear. The rider will fully turn the handlebars and lean the motorcycle as necessary to complete the turn. This is done in both directions.
The 30 mph cone weave consists of seven sets of three cones each, alternately offset from a center line at 36 foot intervals. The rider will approach the pattern from a sufficient distance to establish and maintain a speed of 30 mph. Using counter steering, the rider will weave the motorcycle around the seven sets of cones maintaining 30 mph, plus or minus 2 mph. The 30 mph cone weave represents steering or negotiat-ing around debris or other hazards on the roadway.
The Short Cone Weave pattern uses eight single cones placed in a straight line at various distances. The cones will be placed at 11, 10 ½, and 10 foot intervals measured from cone center to cone center. The rider will negotiate the cone weave at about 1-2 mph in first gear, utilizing the rear brake as needed. Lock-to-lock turns will be used to successfully ride the course. This exercise represents typical motorcycle maneuverability used in slow-speed enforcement riding.
All of the Basic Motorcycle Pattern Evaluation protocols will be conducted by all four riders.
ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
This evaluation is designed to measure motorcycle performance and control in terms of acceleration, in-cluding speed and time elapsed at the quarter mile. Although the top speed is not recorded, a minimum speed of 100 mph is generally obtained to satisfy the requirements for high-speed law enforcement patrol. Special attention will be paid to overall acceleration, stability, loss of rear wheel traction, and whether or not the front wheel lifts off the ground uncontrollably. Three runs will be made with each motorcycle. The results will be averaged.
All of the information gathered during the acceleration evaluation is gathered using a RaceLogic Drift box 02 Datalogger”. The “Datalogger” is a GPS based measuring device. This electronic device measures distance, time and speed.
9
BRAKE EVALUATION
This evaluation procedure measures the braking response and efficiency of the motorcycle. There are three different brake evaluations: A hard braking evaluation, a transitional braking evaluation from a dry to a wet surface, and a transitional braking evaluation from a smooth surface to a sandy surface.
Stopping distance is recorded electronically via a GPS based VBOX Datalogger.
The hard brake evaluation is conducted by first accelerating the motorcycle to 80 MPH, then decelerating to a stop, maintaining an average deceleration rate of 22 feet per second. This procedure is repeated three additional times. The motorcycle is then immediately accelerated to 60 mph and then stopped as quickly as possible, simulating a panic stop. The stopping distance is measured and recorded.
During the dry/wet braking evaluation, the motorcycle will be accelerated to 40 mph, and at a predeter-mined position, the brakes will be applied. The entire brake application will begin on a dry roadway surface, immediately transitioning onto a wet roadway surface while bringing the motorcycle to a full stop. Controllability of the motorcycle and its ABS operation will be evaluated.
During the debris field braking evaluation, the motorcycle will be accelerated to 40 mph, and at a predeter-mined position, the brakes will be applied. The entire brake application will take place on a smooth road-way surface, immediately transitioning to a roadway strewn with sand and gravel while bringing the mo-torcycle to a full stop. Controllability of the motorcycle and its ABS operation will be evaluated.
If a brake malfunction is experienced (i.e., severe brake fading), an effort is made to detect the cause of the brake failure. If it is decided that the failure is inherent in the engineering of the brake system of the motorcycle, the evaluation is discontinued and the motorcycle is disqualified from further evaluation. If the failure is associated with a correctable situation, it is corrected and the evaluation is run again. The defect and any remedial action taken are noted in the evaluation results.

ERGONOMICS & RIDEABILITY EVALUATION 157 MILE RIDE
This portion evaluates the fuel efficiency and ergonomics of the motorcycle during extended field operations. It is designed to simulate the types of situations that an officer may encounter during an eight hour shift. Each motorcycle is driven four times through a 157 mile loop, one loop completed by each of the four EVOC riders. The loop covers 33 miles of city streets, 75 miles of California freeways, 20 miles of coastal highway, and 29 miles of mountain canyons. No attempt is made to "baby" the motorcycle through the loop, and hard acceleration starts are avoided.
During the ride-ability evaluation, a minimum of ten simulated traffic stops will be performed while on city streets. The rider will be required to properly position the motorcycle in a safe traffic enforcement position, dismount the motorcycle, pause for a minimum of two minutes per stop, remount the motorcycle, and acceler-ate into traffic.
The numerical results of the evaluation are recorded and then averaged between the four riders. This average is then recorded as the final result of this portion of the evaluation. Each rider will also submit a subjective evaluation of each motorcycle at the end of the ride.
The fuel efficiency evaluation is an attempt to estimate MPG (miles per gallon) based on actual riding condi-tions. It is the average gas usage of all four riders, for all four loops.
This subjective evaluation is a rating of human factors done individually and independently by all four riders. The ratings are averaged to minimize personal prejudices that individuals may have for or against any given motorcycle. This evaluation rates each motorcycle comparatively for its general suitability and efficiency for patrol operations.
11
HEAT EVALUATION
The heat evaluation is a "PASS-FAIL" scenario and is based on manufacturer’s allowable operating temperatures.
Heat from each engine component is measured by means of a digital thermometer with a bi- metallic probe and infrared heat gun at the conclusion of the 32 high-speed laps. This process is accomplished in the following manner:
1. Transmission Fluid The probe is inserted into the transmission via the oil fill hole.
2. Engine Oil The probe is inserted into the engine case via the oil fill hole, if accessible. 3. Radiator Coolant Temperature is measured via the infrared heat gun aimed below the top radia-
tor tank.
SOUND LEVEL EVALUATION
The sound level evaluation measures the sound levels of the motorcycle at different speeds. This evalua-tion is conducted at 40 mph, 60 mph, 80 mph, and while accelerating from 0 to 80 mph. The dB ratings are recorded with an EXTECH digital sound level meter. The sound level meter’s microphone is mounted at the riders shoulder level, approximately 6 inches from his ear. During the fixed speed portion of the evaluation, the rider will accelerate to the identified speed, and after attaining that speed, will turn on the EXTECH meter and record the result. During the acceleration portion of the evaluation, the meter will be turned on, and the motorcycle will be accelerated to 80 mph. The meter will record the highest dB rating achieved during the entire acceleration of the motorcycle.

Brakes: Brake pull is smooth and consistent. Good modulation and feel. Slight fade noticed on the last set but still strong; consistent results with short stopping distance. Range of operation in the front brake lever is great. Cornering/Handling: Good counter -steering; rolls into corners quick and smooth. Bike has plenty of lean angle but low-placed foot peg interferes on tight turns causing rider’s foot to hit the road. Suspension is steady and smooth through the corners. Transmission (Shift Points): Shifts smooth through all the gears with plenty of torque and power Engine: Great power and torque throughout RPM ranges. Pulls good out of corners and down straight-away. The throttle can be a little jerky when off throttle and back on gear a little high. Other: Traction control would be a plus.

ADDITIONAL RIDER COMMENTS
This motorcycle has been greatly improved overall from the previous models but radiated heat from the rear cylinder still remains. Stalling or hard start on hot engine was not experienced on this bike like the previous models. Braking performance was excellent. Although the windscreen deflected wind and debris from the upper body but there is no protection for the lower legs. Add-ing wind and debris deflector would greatly reduce the wind flow with debris deflection.

COMMUNICATIONS
EVALUATION
The communications evaluation of each vehicle is conducted by technicians assigned to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Communications and Fleet Management Bureau. This evaluation concerns itself with the radio installation, the effect of radio operation on motorcycle performance and the effect of the motorcycle on radio performance.
The Electromagnetic Interference Susceptibility test is intended for use in the presence of electromagnetic fields resulting from use of public safety two-way radios.
Motorcycle performance must not be affected in any way by transmissions from a radio and antenna in-stalled on the motorcycle and operating in any of the frequency ranges of 450 to 512 MHz, and having a radio frequency output no more than 50 watts. Motorcycle performance shall not be affected by the pres-ence of another motorcycle equipped with the above described radio and operated next to the subject mo-torcycle.
Radiated and conducted electromagnetic interference motorcycle systems and accessories shall be designed to reduce interference with the use of public safety radio receivers or electronic sirens or sound amplifiers. The effective sensitivity of a receiver installed on the motorcycle shall not be reduced by more than the amount tabulated below for each frequency band:
FREQUENCY BAND ALLOWABLE DEGRADATION
450 to 512 MHz 3 dB
Degradation is the difference in effective receiver sensitivity measured with the vehicle engine and ac-cessories turned off as compared to that measured with the engine and accessories turned on.
Sensitivity is measured in terms of the 12 dB Sinad signal as defined in EIA Standard RS-204. To determine effective sensitivity, the receiver is connected to the antenna through an isolating tee connector which allows introduction of the signal generator through the isolated port. Comparative signal strength readings are then taken with and without the interference present.
