I think thats unfairly penalising motorcyclists of all kinds. Bottom line, we move quicker through london than anyone else, so "taxing" us to the same degree is unfair at best.

The restrictions they're imposing will allow us to move even more freely through the capital, if motorcycles are excluded from this. Also, how many people commute into london via motorcycle? (which they have already proved costs 1/10th of the congestion (and emissions) of a typical car or van.

I can understand the push towards better air quality, but they're penalising one of the vehicles that actually help this issue, not make it worse.
