Great history on the police motorbikes. It was very nice of all of you to put up the list 
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

This isn't my theme, but you have a nice collection of police motorcycles, Panos.  Thank you for showing their evolution. :)

 :-[ digging up an old thread, sorry. But this is also my thingy and never found this before  :-[ :-[ :-[

Very cool to see some fellow motorcycle collectors. The 3915 is that the same as the 3986? Because it looks like it.



Maybe i can add some more info to this "history" line, with info from my own collection:

* The first policebike has more variations then mentioned. To my best knowledge they were only produced in the green and white colours. I haven't seen a blue one as depicted, made by Geobra itself. There are versions with white and green saddlebags. I even believe the 3572 was the ONLY green motorcycle of this series produced, it was also in another set (scroll to bottom  ;) ). The others are all white bodies with green tanks.
 

* The difference between 3564x and 3494 are the klicky's in other colours (green vs blue/white) and other stickersets.
 

* 2010 Adventcalendar 4157 had a, i think, 3986 international version policebike in it. (This i do not own yet, so unconfirmed)


(* In 2011 the 5891 carry case was released with the same version 4564 motorcycle as in set 3623, but with a different rider. The motorcycle also has the darker stripe on the windscreen and a white-male police officer in modern black uniform)


* Set 4086 has a version of the 3986 policebike, but with a different klicky on it. At least according to the box. (Cannot confirm this RL)


* In 2011 the policequad 3655 was released, with a more South-American looking police officer in light-blue uniform. He also has a headset printed on his playmohead.


* 2012 the darkblue-policequad was released in the adventcalendar 4168.


* In 2012 the 5185 - international and 5180 - German versions were released. Also with the blue lights, but a different look.


* Set 5990 Also has a simplified version of the dirtbike as it was used in the carry case 4218. It has almost no accesories and NO stickers, that is what surprised me the most of this bike to be honest. Still it's nice. The pic doesn't show the trunks, but the bike has them just as the other one, and the policeofficer carries a pistol, the bike has a club and lantern on the front clips.


And to answer the blue & red klicky motorcycles question: 3208x
