Kolkata Police has added a dozen Harley-Davidson 750 motorcycles to their fleet. This isn’t the first instance of Indian cops being allotted HD motorcycles though. Back in May 2015, Gujarat Police added six new, customised Harley-Davidson Street 750s to their arsenal.
Upgrades to the Gujarat Police HDs include a large windscreen, a chrome crash guard with an attached siren and beacons, a pillion backrest, along with two panniers at the rear. We believe that a similar round of upgrades are in order for the newly acquired Kolkata Police motorcycles as well.
Sources say that the Harley Davidson motorcycles are supposed to form a part of a VIP escort squad for Kolkata Police. They will be put to use only for the most exclusive of reasons. It is still unclear if the motorcycles will be modified to produce more power.
