Some forces ditched them ages ago, others are still using them. Some people are of the opinion that it's the way the police load the bikes with equipment, others that it's inherent in all the bikes. Either way, I know two people who have decided against getting a Pan 1300 (the older 1100 is fine) on the back of this news, so it's definately hurting Honda's sales.

As an aside, quite why a coroner feels he is an expert in the field of motorcycling, over and above police riders, still puzzles me.
