Just out of interest, how much does it cost to tax a big bike? (i.e. 1000cc +) I've only ever had a 50cc (£15) and now the 400 (£30)

I'm not happy with the current taxation system. My 550cc classic bike putting out less than 50bhp costs the same as a 600cc supersports machine putting out twice the power! That doesn't make any sense at all ____________________ Hard livin', hard luck. |

There have already been discussions about introducing a satellite tracked "pay-as-you-go" scheme and scrapping both VED and fuel duty. It's argued that such an arrangement would be fairer since you would only pay for the mileage you do. Not totally convinced myself but you can bet your bottom dollar on any such system being structured in such a way so as to increase the net tax receivables from motorists into HMG coffers; would be an ideal opportunity for yet another stealthy increase in taxes.
https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4610755.stm
If you believe recent reports in the motorcycle press, Mayor "red" Ken has plans on introducing such a scheme for bikes in London as early as 2008, but without, of course, any decrease in either fuel duty or VED. ____________________ 2005 Yam Fazer (FZ6-S) |

While we're on the topic, the much-trumpeted green car tax-break turns out to be an irrelevance, as only 2 cars in production fit the bill - and neither of them are currently in production in the UK.
D'oh.
The Daily Telegraph wrote: |
Motorists hoping to take advantage of Gordon Brown's zero road tax rate for the most environmentally friendly cars shouldn't rush to the showrooms just yet - because there aren't any new models in Britain that qualify.
The Chancellor's generous Budget gesture looked rather less so after an examination of all models turned up only two sufficiently clean candidates: the Honda Insight petrol-electric hybrid, which has gone out of production, and the Smart Diesel, which is only available abroad.
With only 200 Insights on British roads, the Treasury doesn't have to start panicking.
Chris Grayling, the Tory transport spokesman, said: "How can the Government trumpet its green credentials with a zero rate of tax when people can't actually buy the cars that would benefit from it?"
The Treasury said the zero rate, one of seven bands rising to a maximum £210 for four-wheel drives and some models of people carrier, was an attempt to encourage manufacturers to make greener cars. |

Aye I taxed my Fazer yesterday (599cc) it was £46, I didn't get a letter in the post about renewing so had to print out a V10 or something. I went down to the Post Office with my V10 filled out, insurance certificate, MoT certificate and tax book and they demanded to see my old tax disc to prove I had tax (wtf? ) so I had to go and unbolt it off the bike. |

That's odd. Normally if I don't have my reminder I just use my V5 instead. ____________________ Past >>>> Honda NSR 125 >>>> Suzuki GSXR 600 K1 >>>> Suzuki GSXR 600 K4 >>>>Kawasaki Z1000 DAF >>>>Suzuki RMZ 250 >>>> Current >>>> KTM Superduke R 1290 >>>> |
