I have a black Super Duke, and am considering getting it painted like this:
I talked to my friend who is a cop and he looked up the codes, and just having the word police in a foreign language on your car is not against the law, unless you try to pull someone over and actually impersonate a police officer.
What do you guys think? |

There is a group of danisk track riders with 'police motorcycles'.
On the road you will probably get a lot of 'unwanted' negative attention.
There is a lot of options how to decorate a bike for fun. This one might get you in trouble.
I have seen a german ZX-10R with taxi paintjob and decals.... 
Quickest taxi in town..... |

I think the colors and design look good, but I would leave the polizei word out. Maybe stick "superduke" or something else in that stripe? |

I would skip the paint/graphics & spend my time in the saddle & my $$ on tyres & fuel & my wife. YMMV. |

first idea was god awful, second idea is just awful. randon use of colours without much design or thought imho.....(I dont mean to be nasty).
Less is more!
but as has been said, it's your bike mate! |

I agree. Leave the stickers out, and it looks good.

Maybe Squire could use the italian "carabinieri" which verbally is nowhere close to the roots of the word "police"...
Look how happy they are!
