The Yamaha of the gendarmerie
The first Yamaha 600 XTE of the French gendarmerie, brought to replace the old BMW R65 GS
Will the French gendarmes have to gradually drop their traditional mustache in favor of a Samurai sword? ?
The virtual monopoly of the German BMW on the motorcycle fleet of the French gendarmerie is in any case seriously undermined, since the Japanese Yamaha has just won the contract for the biker training center of the gendarmerie.
Delivered last week and for the moment reserved for instructors, these 600 XTE (29 990 FF public price) seem to make their pilots happy..
Asked by Moto-Net, they say they are satisfied by "power and flexibility"big mono, even if most of them admit to having kept a certain tenderness for the old BMW R65 GS. These had the particular advantage, cardan shaft requires, of not requiring the chore of cleaning the chain !
