  "summary": "The federal police Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department (TEID) in Malaysia is set to evaluate three Harley-Davidson motorcycles for potential patrol duties, according to a report by the New Straits Times. The three motorcycles - a 2026 Street Glide M8 117, 2026 Low Rider ST 117 High-Output, and 2026 Pan America 1250 Special - were handed over to TEID director Datuk Seri Muhammed Hasbullah Ali by Route 77 Motors Sdn Bhd board member Datuk Omar Ali Abdullah. The trial period for the motorcycles will run from September 24 to December 31, during which TEID will assess the motorcycles' performance, handling, comfort, capabilities, and suitability for traffic enforcement operations. The initiative aims to explore suitable vehicle assets and technologies in collaboration with the industry to support TEID's operational requirements, enhance personnel readiness, and improve the effectiveness of traffic enforcement duties.",
