The AA is to use motorcycles to target breakdowns in order cut waiting times in London.
The modified 600cc Honda Silverwings ,700cc Honda Deauvilles and four Vectrix electric scooters will all be specially adapted to carry the trained AA serviceman’s tool-kit, spares and beacon light.

They used to use Triumphs and the Norton Rotary which was the same spec as the Police bikes

Ride a BMW now and with the front fogs on people still think its a police bike, handy on the M62 at rush hour.
