How about at the start of the year you get your mileage checked....the half way through the year its checked and your charged due to how many miles you do, hence using more roads etc ?? just a different scope on things !!                                                                                                                                                                             

Like that - might not bother getting that speedo cable fixed                                                                                                                                                                             

my thoughts exactly...although we could have security measures on the speedos so none can be tampered wth                                                                                                                                                                             

I don't think there's much doubt, bikes are, in the main, tuned for performance, not economy   I was listening to Radio2 on the way home & they were talking to someone from the Motorcycle industry re scrappage scheme for bikes ... according to him , since 2007 when the new laws came in regarding CO2 from bikes thats not the case any more & most new bikes are now lower CO2 producers than thier pre 2007 or thier 4 wheeled counterparts                                                                                                                                                                              

i am sure our 1600 cc bike is very fuel and co2 friendly !!!!                                                                                                                                                                             

lol .. if its post 2007 ... its friendlier than it would be if it was pre 2007
