Getaway motorcycles have an unfair advantage over bulky police cruisers, allowing thieves to quickly and easily distance themselves from their pursuers and escape the long arm of the law. Looking to catch these cheeky bike-riding criminals, the Los Angeles Police Department has acquired an Aprilia RSV4.

Powered by a 999.9-cc V4 churning out 178 hp at 12,500 rpm, this ultralight crotch rocket can take on the most powerful machines on the planet, and is even used in the WSBK series.

If you’re ever in L.A. and get an uncontrollable urge to tease the cops, you’d better think twice, because that might well be your last day as a free man (or woman).

This video shot by Hell For Leather gives you a good look at the LAPD’s new Aprilia RSV4.
