What's the big deal? There is no story to this story. The CHP started moving to Beemers around 1998, and around the same time San Francisco began retiring their Kawis for Harleys. Harleys and Guzzis have been used in the past by various police departments, so the ebb and flow of brands is nothing new. Do we really care if Austin's police department switches from Impalas to Crown Victorias, or from Mustangs to Camaros for interceptors (or vice versa?) No. This is a non-story.
