While perusing ADVrider the other day, I came across a post by dole555 on the VFR800P (Police). Built off the fifth generation platform, the 800 has been used by police forces around the world for years but are especially common in their homeland of Japan. Dole555 has been researching details on the police version, also known as the RC49. Here's some of what he's dug up:
• Made from 2001 to 2008, stopped production for emissions reasons.
• Models 2001-06 had black mirrors, and 2006-08 had chrome mirrors.
Main differences from RC46 are:
• Engine detuned for peak HP and torque at 1000 RPM lower than stock. (80 HP at 9500 RPM, 50 lb/ft at 7500)
• Delinked brakes.
• Ventilated rear disc.
• ABS front and rear.
• Heavier flywheel.
• Exhaust mounted lower, high bars, forks lowered in the triple.
• Bigger oil cooler (3 rows instead of 2).
• Beefier rear subframe.
• Cutout on the left fairing over the radiator for better cooling. The fan is not inverted, it is still sucking the air in.
• Heat shields over rear cylinders between seat and tank.
