PSNews - During the second US-DPRK Summit in Hanoi, the traffic police force has used a large number of big motorcycles, including Yamaha FJR1300P and Honda NC750X to guide the traffic and protect participating delegations. 

Reportedly, the traffic police force of Hanoi used 20 white Yamaha FJR1300P motorcycles from February 26 to March 2 to convoy delegations during the second Trump-Kim summit in Hanoi as well as during the official visit of DPRK President Kim Jong-un to Vietnam.
Yamaha FJR1300P is a sport-touring motorcycle model of the Japanese carmaker. The "P" in FJR1300P indicates the police model, which is in fact used by police forces of many countries around the work such UK, France, Belgium and Japan. 
As a model exclusive to the police, Yamaha FJR1300P is designed with special features compared to its original model of FJR1300 ES. 
According to Yamaha, Low center of gravity helps maintain excellent high-speed stability. The FJR1300P blends the ultra-high-speed performance of a standard bike with a variety of equipment designed exclusively for police use. 
The tall windshield with an electrically-adjustable 135 mm vertical range ensures wind protection at any speed. Along with the windshield, a handlebar that is 20 mm higher than the civilian model, foot shields, and a comfortable seat cushion combine to reduce rider fatigue when traveling long distances.
In addition to the Yamaha FJR1300P model, the traffic police force of Hanoi has also used the police motorcycle model of Honda NC750X. Designed on the basis of the NC750X model, this special-purpose motorcycle has wide-angle headlights. 

Honda NC750X has a 4-stroke, SOHC, double-cylinder, 745cc capacity combined with an electronic fuel injection system and 6-speed gearbox. The engine block can produce 54.8 horsepower and maximum torque of 68 Nm.
