Time to get a 125

What's Spain got against big bikes? What's the situation in Blighty regarding road tax
for bikes?

This is the road tax rates table for my village (bikes only - cars are rated by "fiscal
power" **** knows what that means):

0 C.C. 125 C.C. 6,76 €
126 C.C. 250 C.C. 11,58 €
251 C.C. 500 C.C. 23,18 €
501 C.C. 1000 C.C. 46,34 €
1001 C.C. 999999 C.C. 92,69 €

I'm tempted to build a 90 litre bike just to take the piss.

Looks like someone enamored with the powers of 2.

 

My Z1000 is about 6o something quid a year.

92 euros? That's about the same as the 64 quid it cost me to tax to
10R.

So, in summary, "boo hoo hoo".

 

In the UK:

Not over 150cc £15.00 = 19 Euro

151-400cc £33.00 = 42 Euro

401-600cc £48.00 = 61 Euro

Over 600cc £66.00 = 84 Euro

That was probably the case when you taxed the bike. Since then the UK has
raised the UK rate to £66 and the £ has dropped significantly against the
euro. See my other post, where £66 is worth under 84 euros.

Indeed

 

What I was commenting on was the scale. ie; binary. 6.76 euros per year for a 125.

So there they penalise the little bikes and here we get slapped for having litre bikes.

I wonder if it will level out as uk gets more scoots and Spain gets more bigbikes.
