You say that Chris and that is normally the case I agree but this paragraph is worrying -"
"The other issue is bikes that do not have stated CO2 emissions from the manufacturers because they’re old enough that it wasn’t recorded.

In that case, the bikes are likely be to placed in bands based on their engine size, which could see large displacement older models (some BMWs and Harleys for instance) with exorbitant year taxes."

not much change in the way it is now at first glance but the undertone to me is that the rates per cc are going to rocket

Admittedly nothing is concrete yet but I can feel a mugging coming on, looks like a demo outside parliament is due
