EU Motorbike Legislation - SV650.org

Hi Peeps,

There maybe a thread already but have a look at and concider signing the below e-petition.

Thanks,
Ben
Don't implement any of the new EU Motorbike Legislation
Responsible department: Department for Transport

The EU will soon vote on new motorbike legislation which includes
Compulsory ABS,
Anti-Tampering,
Bikes older than 7 years banned form urban areas,
Hi Vis etc.

All of these legislations infringe on our human rights as a motorbike rider, we don't see car drivers being banned from urban areas in cars older than 7 years. All of the new legislations have been thought up by politicians who know nothing of riding a motorbike. I for one am sick of motorbikes being blamed for all the problems when a lot of the time, it is the car driver at fault and yet we are the ones being punished. So i call if this new legislation is put into effect that the UK government stands against implementing this and stands up for it's countries rights and riders

There's a few threads on it already, and details of the MAG protest on the 25th.

That petition is pretty ill-informed. The ban on old bikes (France) and compulsory Hi-vis (Ireland) have got nothing whatsoever to do with the new type approval legislation.

It does, however, greatly simplify the type approval process for manufacturers selling bikes into the EU. It also removes the option that all member states currently have to restrict every bike within their region to a power output of 74kW. Manufacturers will be forced to release servicing and repair information. That lot seems fairly positive to me.

DfT are actively seeking the opinion of riders in their consultation which ends on 28th October - here. You can respond to each of the individual points in the legislation. Petitions that entirely miss the point won't help I think.

Can't we have just one, small section, for all this EU picking on us stuff. It's boring and repetitive and all over the bloody place!
