His most iconic patrol leaves the “Made in Japan” after decades of service

Few cultures are more “papist than the Pope” than the Japanese. Good proof of this is the stir that has been mounted after the acquisition, by Shutoko Patrol, of a new fleet of BMW F 900 XR To perform your arduous daily task. The reason is basically that the company had never “had payroll that belonged to a non -Japanese brand.

Shutoko Patrol leaves behind his old Honda CB400

Just a few months ago the president and executive director of BMW Group in Japan, Masatoshi Hasegawa, delivered to the safety company Shutoko Patrol of its new BMW F 900 XR of the latest generation. The mission of this renewed motorcycle fleet is none other than to continue fulfilling the work carried out by the company on the well-known Shuto highway (Shuto Kōsoku-Dōro). As explained on their official website:

“We regularly patrol the entire metropolitan highway with patrols. In the case of an accident, such as traffic accidents, vehicle breakdowns or falling objects, we immediately implement traffic restrictions and take the necessary and fluid measures, in collaboration with the traffic control room, to prevent secondary accidents.”

Shutoko Patrol is passed to BMW to patrol Japanese roads

In total it covers an extension of about 320 km and a daily traffic volume of approximately one million vehicles. They also attend an average of 31 accidents, 33 vehicle breakdowns and 73 objects of objects a day. In addition, they collaborate with related organizations to identify vehicles that do not comply with traffic standards, for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

This immense work will be somewhat simpler, a priori, aboard its new BMW F 900 XR. In this way the workers of Shutoko Patrol will make use, for the first time, of imported motorcycles, replacing their current Honda CB400 faithful and waiting for these “Provide stable cooling and energy supply functions in a variety of conditions, taking into account safety, speed, durability, etc.” declare from the company.
