Re: C02 emissions
Because they prefer to rip me off by charging me more than someone with a 600 with 30bhp more?

Re: C02 emissions
A thought but aren't they measured by revving the rowlocks off (ie put a brick on the accelerator). Trying that on a motorcycle could be a new definition of fun in an enclosed space.
Oh and the fact you can get flmaes from your exhaust might melt a few probes. |

Re: C02 emissions
People dyno motorcycles all the time and we're not all dead yet.
They're measured on a dyno at specific points in rev range and loads etc.
