Korean Police Motor

Ran across this RTP in Seoul, Korea on a recent visit. The officer was getting ready for a Presidential Motorcade that was due to pass the Kwanghwamun area. Found a wonderful place to tour on Jeju island. Wish I had my RT on Jeju. Traffic in Seoul and surrounding area was crazy. Interestingly, they don't allow motorcycles on the freeways.

That's a big change. I lived in Korea eleven years ago and motorcycle were limited to 125cc and 250cc, used predominately as delivery vehicle. The loads were absolutely amazing for such small bikes. These guys have a lot of guts. Korea traffic is fast and dangerous. The loads they carry are very top heavy, leaving the rider in a cramped forward leaning position.
