Out patrolling again this year around Seaways. Not sure what type it is other than its black with one headlight on (I only saw him/her in my mirrors).

At a guess it will be their hyabusa, and the cop who rides it is a sneaky bugger by all accounts.
What, you mean he/she couldn't keep up with you?
They have quite a fleet of unmarked vehicles including a Scania tractor unit (Hampshire have one too)
That's the sort of description my wife would give!
If she tells you she tells she's had something black up behind her with one headlight....i'd start to worry a bit

Good. They need one to catch all the feckin East European drivers watching feckin videos on their laptops while they're driving.....

Humberside;s finest were out in force yesterday with a black unmarked ZZR1400 the rider was in full police gear so stood out like a sore thumb no doubt they will be hanging around Seaways today
One of the great advantages of being semi retired,you don't have to go out on a Sunday

Ain't that just the truth
I've never seen an unmarked police bike as an issue. I don't ride like a cnut, try to look far enough ahead/use my mirrors etc etc. Never do 3 figure speeds. Not being evangelical but I figure there are enough knobbers out on two (and four and more) wheels for any Police to ignore me and concentrate on those that really do need targetting.
Not wishing to be argumentative Davey, but you don't have to ride like a c*** for them to give you a pull. They will often be very much out in the open, which is when the tend to pull the knobbers that blatantly ignore their presence.
On occasions the unmarked bikes will be very covert and no amount of checking your mirrors and forward planning will spot them, fortunately if they tag you riding in a mildly spirited manner it will more often that not be a pull and a little chat.

I live in Germany now. The last time I came across on the Rotterdam-Hull ferry I was amazed at how many speed (safety?) cameras, especially mobile ones, that I encountered between Hull and York. Not that I recognised any unmarked bikes or cars, but who knows?!! But Humberside was definately worse than I every found North Wales during Brunstom's time there. And I was off the Hull ferry in med-week, so they weren't just out to catch the weekend sports bikes
No problem and debate is healthy. I've been road riding for over 30yrs doing 6-10k a year, never had an issue. Probably helps that the guys I ride with, ride progressively but we don't stand out and we use lots of back roads and avoid like the plague the usual biker roads advertised in bike mags. If someone tagged on to the back while we were riding, we'd slow down not speed up in some macho display of riding prowess.
