Bachmann SceneScapes 33151 City People with Motorcycle

This is part of a set of figures I bought for my postal collection, no police theme, but I choose to show it here too.

2

BUDDY L motorcycle CHiPs

An older, large-scale Buddy L model - This can be expensive, and mine is in pretty good shape, but missing its kickstand, so I got it cheap.

3

Buddy L police SWAT motorcycle

A newer small-scale all-plastic super-cheap piece of junk I got as part of a super-cheap set. The label says "METAL MADE" but no, it's plastic.

Galoob MM Desert Patrol Vehicle

Not a motorcycle, and "police" only in a broad sense, but when I saw it, I had to have one. It's available in many color combinations - I like this all-black one. It's tiny, about an inch and a half long, and amazingly detailed for that size.

When I first saw it I was sure it was a fantasy vehicle, but no, it's a real thing - Read all about it HERE

The Hot Wheels fandom Wiki is an excellent one-stop source of information about everything Hot Wheels. Check it out.

6

HW Scorchin Scooter State Police

I am not a fanof Hot Wheels - too many of their vehicles are ridiculous fantasies like this one, and aimed at four-year olds. I prefer collector models made to look like a real vehicle. Greenlight is the best for those.


7

Magic - Welly Police Service motorcycle

Unmarked, but I got it as part of this set, and I learned somewhere (?) that the maker is Welly.

8

Maisto My Very First Wheels motorcycle

Part of a 12-vehicle set, and I'd want it even if it were not marked "POLICE." Note the next item, the same casting in normal colors.

9

Maisto Turbo Tread 650 motorbike

Same casting as previous item - I cannot find any attribution to a specific make and model - just a generic motorcycle , I guess.

MB BMW R1200 GS motorcycle MP Police

The Matchbox fandom Wiki is an excellent one-stop source of information about everything Matchbox. Check it out.

11

MB BMW R1200 RT-8 Motorcycle Euro police

Matchbox models are more realistic than Hot Wheels, but still aimed at kids, so made to take a lot of abuse, hence somewhat crude. Here's a real BMW R1200 GS

13

MB Cycle with Sidecar 2003 Toy Fair Police

It has become a tradition for diecast makers to issue special, limited-edition, usually brightly-colored models at yearly Toy Fairs. NYC and Nuremburg are the biggies. There are other versions of this casting, but none is realistic.

14

MB Haunted Haulers Drac

Even Matchbox creates ridculous fantasies - just not as many.

MB K83 Harley Davidson Electra Glide CHP


16

Megatoys chopper

Unmarked, from a six-piece set, not "police".

17

Megatoys Police motorcycle v1

From the same set as the next one, same model, but with slightly different fairing.

18

Megatoys Police motorcycle v2

Unmarked, part of a boxed set of 16 pieces, so I know it's by Megatoy, but they distributed for other makers. Some of the items look like reproductions of real vehicles (the sedan is a Summer S8583 AMC Matador). I'm no good at identifying makes and models, though, and it doesn't look very practical as a real police motorcycle. I suppose it could be a Honda NR750.

NSG Yat Ming BMW 500GT

From a group of five I got on eBay. The package backs say "NSG Marketing," and Hobby Talk says NSG sold YatMing models, so that's my story,and I'm sticking to it.


31

Oxford BSA Motorbike-Sidecar Police 76BSA006

No police markings, but Oxford, the maker, insists that "This model, registered OG 1064 is based on a 1930s vehicle which was widely seen right through to the 1950s. This motorbike and sidecar is as used by the Police and is different in that it is completely black, apart from fine silver masking to the engine parts. It is also completely unmarked as a Police vehicle."
