Motorbike

South Central Ambulance Service currently has a fleet of motorbikes based in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire and includes the BMW R1200RTP's.

The bikes are deployed as an RRV (which stands for Rapid Response Vehicle), which has the added advantage of being able to access areas normally inaccessible to other vehicles, like shopping malls, canal paths and footpaths. They are able to move unhindered through slow or standing traffic, making valuable time and they are able to carry very similar emergency equipment to our ambulances and our car RRV's.

The Motorcycle Response Unit started in the year 2000 and has been a great measured success and has meet over 90% of calls within our government targets.
