The Taiwan Special Forces, known as the “Night Hawks,” stand out for their innovative use of motorcycles, opting for full-dress cruisers, specifically a Harley-Davidson, for their operations.

Unlike other divisions that use more conventional bikes for quick missions, they ride these heavy motorcycles with passengers, with the passenger equipped with a shotgun.
This unusual choice raises questions about stability and maneuverability, especially considering the weight and recoil when shooting.
Based in Wugu, Taipei, the Night Hawks are part of Taiwan’s military police, but little is known about their operations as much of the information is kept secret. The team’s image suggests they are an audacious group, defying expectations of what is considered an appropriate vehicle for quick responses in combat situations.
While using cruisers for military tasks may seem strange, they show that this approach can work. The choice of a Harley-Davidson could inspire an interesting advertising campaign, just as Toyota’s Hilux is recognized as one of the preferred pickups among tactical operators.
