It really depends but on a bike the cops do not stand a chance, that is why they don't usually pursue. If you are on a 400 typehwy at 2:00am, it might last longer then if your within city limits at 2:00pm. Police will pursue cars for a longer period of time because they can keep up, most police cars have top speed limits of between 220km/h to apporx 235 km/h depending on the car and the rear diff gearing.

Most 600 class ss have a top speed of 240km/hr, a 1000 class bike will top out somewhere between 280-300km/hr.

Remeber that if a cop decides to chase and something goes wrong(ie. the biker crashes, the cop crashes etc..) the whole chain of command will be held responsible, not just the cop who was driving. Why would a police officer risk his job/career for a stunt driving charge or at most a careless driving charge? Odds are that if you are riding in a large group, they might pursue longer because they know that someone will stop, but if its just 1-3 bikes, they won't even bother.

I don't think you will find many supervisors that will let a pursuit with a bike go on any longer then it takes them to call it off. With the exception of chasing a murder suspect or similar.

And a crash with injuries could end up seeing the cop charged criminally and held civilly responsible, not just under the HTA.

Why, Smokeandapancake said the same thing to him in this thread http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum...5&postcount=17 and you had no issue with it.

I was much more polite about it though!!
