Detective Michael Vinciulla

All Officers are required to complete a 5 day Police Motorcycle Training course held by the Municipal Police Training Committee which certifies them in Police Motorcycle Operations.

APD currently owns and operates 2 BMW F 650 GS-P motorcycles designated MC1 and MC2.

Detective Vinciulla and Officer Foster - 08/13/05

The F 650 GS-P sets a new standard for agile, multi-terrain motors. This is the first manufacturer-certified police motor in this displacement range, fully equipped for police work, yet with an acceptable seat height (unlike converted dirt bikes).

Standard Features Include:

Water-Cooled 650 cc Fuel Injected Engine
ABS Brake System
Code 3 LED 4-Head Light System
100W BMW/Code 3 Siren System w/wail, yelp, hyper-yelp and air horn, RRB & PA
400W Alternator w/Linked Battery System (12 Ah main battery / 6 Ah linked battery)
5-Speed Gearbox
Heated Handlebar Grips
Equipment Box with Luggage Rack
Expandable / Removable Saddlebags
Dual Seat with Passenger Pegs
Engine Protection Bars
License Plate ID Lights
Two 12V Power Sockets
High Windshield
Large Chain Protector
Enduro Tires

Optional Features Include:

Public Address Microphone
Low Seat
Seat w/Storage Compartment
Multi-Switch Mount
Quick-Release Luggage Rack Mounting Plate
Pelican Boxes

Seat Height - 30.7 Inches
Weight - 445 lbs.
Maximum GVWR - 838 lbs.
Top Speed - 103 mph
Fuel Consumption

We feel that this motor fits perfectly for the mission of homeland security, and is fully capable of virtually any police motor mission. This motor has volume potential as no other manufacturer has a police motor in this category that has water cooling, auxiliary battery, is police turnkey ready, has ABS, low seat height and is in this price range.
