INTRODUCTION

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department first implemented its police vehicle testing program in 1974, and motorcycle testing in 2008. Since that time, our Department has become nationally recognized as a major source of information relative to police vehicles and their use.

This year’s motorcycle evaluation was conducted November 4th – 8th, 2019 by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

All major manufacturers of police motorcycles were invited to participate. BMW, Harley Davidson, Honda, and Yamaha ,each submitted motorcycles for evaluation. The motorcycles submitted were:

*2020 BMW R 1250 RT-P *2020 BMW F 850 GS-P *2020 BMW F 750 GS-P *2020 Harley - Davidson FLHTP ( Electra Glide) *2020 Harley - Davidson FLHTP ( Road King) *2018 Honda ST 1300-P *2020 Yamaha FJR 1300-P-AB

All of the motorcycles submitted completed the test satisfactorily.

The testing process is designed to address the law enforcement officer’s operational requirements in terms of motorcycle performance, safety, and comfort. The fleet maintenance interest is addressed by performing an extensive mechanical evaluation on each motorcycle submitted.

Each test is designed and executed to simulate actual field use conditions as closely as possible. Law enforcement motorcycle personnel conduct the evaluations on city streets, freeways, and the performance track.

This book is not intended as a recommendation for any specific motorcycle contained within, nor is it designed to rank the motorcycles in any order. Our motorcycle testing program is conducted in order to accomplish two primary goals; provide law enforcement agencies with the data necessary to assist those in the motorcycle selection process and provide the various motorcycle manufacturers with the input necessary to better meet the needs of law enforcement.

We recognize the fact that individual agency needs can be influenced by cost, operational considerations and other factors. As such, interpretation of test results is the responsibility of each agency and should be made based upon the agency’s needs.

It is our goal to provide law enforcement agencies with the information they require to successfully evaluate and select the right motorcycle for their needs. We believe that we have accomplished that goal.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Fleet Management Bureau would like to thank all those who contributed their time and efforts in making this year’s test a success.

BASIC MOTORCYCLE

PATTERNS

Five circle patterns will be used to determine each motorcycle’s minimum turning radius. The diameters of the circles will be 20, 19, and 18 feet. The circle pattern will be entered at a speed of 2-3 mph. Once inside the circle, the rider will make three revolutions in one direction, exit the circle and make three more revolutions in the opposite direction. The circle pattern will be ridden in first gear.

Each motorcycle will be ridden in five different 180 degree U-Turn patterns. The diameters of the U-Turns will be 20, 19, 18, 17, and 16 feet. The U-Turn will be entered at a speed of 2-3 mph in first gear. The rider will fully turn the handlebars and lean the motorcycle as necessary to complete the turn. This is done in both directions.

The 30 mph cone weave consists of seven sets of three cones each, alternately offset from a center line at 36 foot intervals. The rider will approach the pattern from a sufficient distance to establish and maintain a speed of 30 mph. Using counter steering, the rider will weave the motorcycle around the seven sets of cones maintaining 30 mph, plus or minus 2 mph. The 30 mph cone weave represents steering or negotiating around debris or other hazards on the roadway.

The Short Cone Weave pattern utilizes eight single cones placed in a straight line at various distances. The cones will be placed at 11, 10 ½, and 10 foot intervals measured from cone center to cone center. The rider will negotiate the cone weave at about 1-2 mph in first gear, utilizing the rear brake as needed. Lock-to-lock turns will be used to successfully ride the course. This exercise represents typical motorcycle maneuverability used in slow-speed enforcement riding.

All of the Basic Motorcycle Pattern Evaluation protocols will be conducted by all four riders.

LAP HIGH-SPEED MOTORCYCLE DYNAMICS EVALUATION

* Due to rider safety, speeds were limited to 80 mph. There will be no lap times posted.

32 LAP HIGH-SPEED COURSE TEST RIDER’S SUBJECTIVE EVALUATION

This evaluation is conducted on a high-speed riding course. It is designed to evaluate, identify and elimi- nate the obvious unacceptable motorcycles (i.e., those motorcycles that are demonstrably unstable or oth- erwise exhibit unsafe characteristics).

For this evaluation, four riders are utilized for each motorcycle. Each rider completes eight laps around our 1.46 mile test track at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, for a total of 32 laps. The motorcycles are limited to 80 mph for rider safety.

Four Emergency Vehicle Operations Center motorcycle training instructors, two each from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Los Angeles Police Department, share the riding and evaluation of these motorcycles.

At the conclusion of the preliminary handling portion of the evaluation, each rider completes a "Rider’s Subjective Evaluation" form. If the test motorcycle is judged unacceptable in this preliminary review, it is rejected and not subject to further testing and evaluation.

CITY COURSE

MOTORCYCLE DYNAMICS

EVALUATION

This evaluation is for motorcycles identified by the manufacturer as intended for law enforcement use and is conducted on a closed 2.6 mile city street course . This course closely represents the environment most urban law enforcement agencies must contend with. The course has several straight-a-ways, multiple right and left turns and obstacles in the roadway.

This is the final track evaluation and the manufacturers, if they so choose, are allowed to rebuild the motorcycles brake system prior to this portion of the evaluation process.

For this evaluation, two riders are utilized for each motorcycle. Each rider completes two laps around the city course. Lap timing is via a GPS based “VBOX Datalogger” timing device, mounted on the motorcycle. The combined times of the two laps are recorded next to the rider's name.

BRAKE EVALUATION

This evaluation procedure measures the braking response and efficiency of the motorcycle. There are three different brake evaluations: A hard braking evaluation, a transitional braking evaluation from a dry to a wet surface, and a transitional braking evaluation from a smooth surface to a sandy surface. Stopping distance is recorded electronically via a GPS based VBOX Datalogger.

The hard brake evaluation is conducted by first accelerating the motorcycle to 80 MPH, then decelerating to a stop, maintaining an average deceleration rate of 22 feet per second. This procedure is repeated three additional times. The motorcycle is then immediately accelerated to 40 mph and then stopped as quickly as possible, simulating a panic stop. That stopping distance is measured and recorded.

During the dry/wet braking evaluation, the motorcycle will be accelerated to 60 mph, and at a predetermined position, the brakes will be applied. The entire brake application will begin on a dry roadway surface, immediately transitioning onto a wet roadway surface while bringing the motorcycle to a full stop. Controllability of the motorcycle and its Anti-lock braking system (ABS) operation will be evaluated.

During the debris field braking evaluation, the motorcycle will be accelerated to 40 mph, and at a predetermined position, the brakes will be applied. The entire brake application will take place on a smooth roadway surface, immediately transitioning to a roadway strewn with sand and gravel while bringing the motorcycle to a full stop. Controllability of the motorcycle and its Anti-lock braking system (ABS) operation will be evaluated.

If a brake malfunction is experienced (i.e., severe brake fading), an effort is made to detect the cause of the brake failure. If it is decided that the failure is inherent in the engineering of the brake system of the motorcycle, the evaluation is discontinued and the motorcycle is disqualified from further evaluation. If the failure is associated with a correctable situation, it is corrected and the evaluation is run again. The defect and any remedial action taken are noted in the evaluation results.

** At this time Brake Evaluation results were not performed due to no distinctive changes made from the previous year model. The following pages are evaluations from last years models. **

ERGONOMICS EVALUATION

110 MILE RIDE

This portion evaluates the fuel efficiency and ergonomics of the motorcycle during extended field operations. It is designed to simulate the types of situations that an officer may encounter during an eight hour shift. Each motorcycle is driven two times through a 110 mile loop, one loop completed by each of the two EVOC riders. The loop covers 33 miles of city streets, 57 miles of California freeways, 20 miles of coastal highway, and 29 miles of mountain canyons. No attempt is made to coddle the motorcycle through the loop, and hard acceleration starts are avoided.

During the ride-ability evaluation, a minimum of ten simulated traffic stops will be performed while on city streets. The rider will be required to properly position the motorcycle in a safe traffic enforcement position, dismount the motorcycle, pause for a minimum of two minutes per stop, remount the motorcycle, and accelerate into traffic.

The numerical results of the evaluation are recorded and then averaged between the two riders. This average is then recorded as the final result of this portion of the evaluation. Each rider will also submit a subjective evaluation of each motorcycle at the end of the ride.

The fuel efficiency evaluation is an attempt to estimate MPG (miles per gallon) based on actual riding conditions. It is the average gas usage of all two riders, for all two loops.

This subjective evaluation is a rating of human factors done individually and independently by all two riders. The ratings are averaged to minimize personal prejudices that individuals may have for or against any given motorcycle. This evaluation rates each motorcycle comparatively for its general suitability and efficiency for patrol operations.

ADDITIONAL RIDER COMMENTS The bike accelerated very fast and seemed to have no “ chip”, this could be a problem. The heat from the lower exhaust near the foot pegs was a bit uncomfortable throughout the ride.

ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE

EVALUATION

This test is designed to measure vehicle performance in terms of acceleration, including speed and time at the quarter mile. Although the top speed is not recorded, a minimum of 100 MPH is generally obtained to satisfy the requirements for high speed law enforcement patrol.

To get the information on the 30 – 60 MPH and 60 – 100 MPH two separate runs were driven. In each run, the vehicle was accelerated to just under the target speed. The vehicle’s speed was allowed to level off, and then the vehicle was accelerated through the target speed. This allowed for an actual time between the targeted speed.

All of the information gathered during the acceleration and subsequent brake test is gathered using a Race Logic “Drift Box 02”. The data logger is a GPS based measuring device.

HEAT EVALUATION

The heat evaluation is a "PASS-FAIL" scenario and is based on manufacturer’s allowable operating temperatures.

Heat from each engine component is measured by means of a digital thermometer with a bi- metallic probe and infrared heat gun at the conclusion of the 32 high-speed laps. This process is accomplished in the following manner:

1. Transmission Fluid The probe is inserted into the transmission via the oil fill hole. 2. Engine Oil The probe is inserted into the engine case via the oil fill hole, if accessible. 3. Radiator Coolant Temperature is measured via the infrared heat gun aimed below the top radiator tank.

COMMUNICATION EVALUATION

The communications evaluation of each vehicle is conducted by technicians assigned to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Communications and Fleet Management Bureau. This evaluation concerns itself with the radio installation, the effect of radio operation on motorcycle performance and the effect of the motorcycle on radio performance.

The Electromagnetic Interference Susceptibility test is intended for use in the presence of electromagnetic fields resulting from use of public safety two-way radios.

Motorcycle performance must not be affected in any way by transmissions from a radio and antenna installed on the motorcycle and operating in any of the frequency ranges of 450 to 512 MHz, and having a radio frequency output no more than 50 watts. Motorcycle performance shall not be affected by the presence of another motorcycle equipped with the above described radio and operated next to the subject motorcycle.

Radiated and conducted electromagnetic interference motorcycle systems and accessories shall be designed to reduce interference with the use of public safety radio receivers or electronic sirens or sound amplifiers. The effective sensitivity of a receiver installed on the motorcycle shall not be reduced by more than the amount tabulated below for each frequency band:

FREQUENCY BAND ALLOWABLE DEGRADATION

450 to 512 MHz 3 dB

Degradation is the difference in effective receiver sensitivity measured with the vehicle engine and accessories turned off as compared to that measured with the engine and accessories turned on.

Sensitivity is measured in terms of the 12 dB Sinad signal as defined in EIA Standard RS-204. To determine effective sensitivity, the receiver is connected to the antenna through an isolating tee connector which allows introduction of the signal generator through the isolated port. Comparative signal strength readings are then taken with and without the interference present.

SOUND LEVEL

EVALUATION

The sound level evaluation measures the sound levels of the motorcycle at different speeds. This evaluation is conducted at 40 mph, 60 mph, 80 mph, and while accelerating from 0 to 80 mph. The dB ratings are recorded with an EXTECH digital sound level meter. The sound level meter’s microphone is mounted at the riders shoulder level, approximately 6 inches from his ear. During the fixed speed portion of the evaluation, the rider will accelerate to the identified speed, and after attaining that speed, will turn on the EXTECH meter and record the result. During the acceleration portion of the evaluation, the meter will be turned on, and the motorcycle will be accelerated to 80 mph. The meter will record the highest dB rating achieved during the entire acceleration of the motorcycle.

** At this time Sound Level Evaluation results were not performed due to no distinctive changes made from the previous year model. The following pages are evaluations from last years models. **
