        I don't want to go off thread, but I have to say that horses are much more appropriate for a Presidential escort. Just a thought.

            Not really. Apart from Her Maj. Everyone else in modern countries use motorcycle outriders. The last operational ceremonial unit of the DF to use horses were Artillery.

            Search for the Blue Hussars, and continue this discussion there.

                The Old Deauvilles will shortly be sold at auction, according to those over at irishbikerforum.

                They also say the Deauvilles will be replaced by ...




                More Deauvilles. The New Dullville has a larger engine, and a proper screen.
                I wouldn't mind replacing my trusty 98 africa Twin with a presidential blue dullville.
                As long as they gave me a good price of course.

                  Took a test drive on an ex MOD police BMW 850 RT today.

                  They would have been nice in Presedential Blue.
                  The Test bike still had the strobes, though with amber lights..

                  I didn't do any checkpoints before you ask.

                    • Lowest offer 337945.00 / highest offer 435869.40 EUR excluding VAT

                      Thats between €9866 and €7510 per bike. Ex Vat. Considering they didn't succeed in getting Honda to take the old ones off their hands as P/Ex, only a Fair result. One Wonders who the other Bidder was.

                      The new Dullvile retails for €10999 OTR to the ordinary joe.
