"Where did you get that speeder?"
"I asked one of the police droids to lend me some transportation. They were kind enough to oblige."
Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano and Jedi Master Tera Sinube discussing the Coruscant police BARC speeder[8]

The Biker Advanced Recon Commando (BARC) speeder was a speeder bike manufactured by Aratech Repulsor Company.[1] It was designed for use by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, after being championed by Clone Commanders Bacara and Neyo.[13] The BARC speeder was the predecessor to the 74-Z speeder bike,[14] which also was designed for the Republic and saw use since the start of the war.[15]

A BARC speeder

The BARC speeder gave the ordinary clone trooper fighting on foot increased speed, mobility, and firepower. Used primarily as a scouting and escort vehicle, it was readily adaptable for various environments and missions. With the addition of optional support struts, a sidecar or stretcher could be attached to its side.[2] A BARC speeder variant known as the RapidResponse police speeder[16] was also available for use by civilian police, specifically the Coruscant Security Force, to patrol the Galactic Republic capital planet of Coruscant.[8]

Near the end of the Clone Wars, Neyo and a clone trooper of the 91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps rode BARC Speeders during the Siege of Saleucami. Order 66 was issued, and Neyo and his wingman shot Stass Allie's 74-Z speeder, which crashed, killing Allie.[5]
