That's okay.. just won't buy new bikes! Laughing

If they bring that in then it will see the end of all new bikes , destroying the bike industry.. I can't see it happening, so much so that I won't lose any sleep over it Razz

Yeah, I can't either but it's worthy of concern when it gets to the point that people with power are talking about it.

I can see an aftersales service in removing boxes...
"I didn't know it wasn't there your Honour, the bike was like that when I bought it!" Liar

Hi

I would be not at all surprised if it happens. It is well on its way already.

Anti tampering measures would be easy. Checked at MOT time, large fine / confiscation of vehicle for any tampering.

Older vehicles are also easy. They just restrict their use to organised runs. Or put the VED through the roof (and encourage insurance companies to do the same) for any vehicle not equiped with one.

All the best

Hi

UK mainly, but likely to be Europe wide due to standardisation.

All the best

If thats the case then the bike industry would Die. I cant see many bikers buying restricted bikes! Rolling Eyes

"Hey dude! What BHP is your Hayabusa turbo kicking out?"
"Erm, about 12BHP on a good run"

What a load of B******S!

It won't happen untill a few years after they are common place in cars. No car's yet have them, so i think bikes are safe for a fair while yet Wink

The government may be very keen up them and make it law, doesnt mean its going to happen though. Just look at 33bhp and moped law's, no one pays any attention, including the police most of the time.
