BMF against Euro ban

The BMF has critiscised the plans to ban superbikes contained in the EU ‘Reduction of Energy Use in transport’ paper, revealed in MCN, June 7, 2006.

The report “demonstrates an ignorance of motorcycling technicalites and a bias against motorcycles as a form of transport,” says the BMF’s Trevor Magner. Sweeping statements are made about motorcycle emissions and fuel efficienct that fail to take ito account current motorcycle design, compliance with Euro 3 emission limits, and the fact bikes make better progress in congested conditions.
