New EU

[PieEater]

Forums like this will not exist in a couple of years time ......we will not be able to modify our machines in any meaningful way......

From what I've read the propsals are not due to come into effect until 2015 and will only effect bikes manufactured from when the proposals are enforced. I believe that manufactures are already pre-emptively attempting to introduce emission reducing technology which may exceed these requirements making the proposed legislation redundant. Add to that the instability of the EU I'm not sure that in 4 years time they may have bigger concerns to worry about. I'd be grateful if someone could point out where the proposals suggest that vehicles manufactured before 2015 cannot be modified. In all honesty with 185 BHP and all the elctronic aids you could wish for currently available I don't think another 4 years development is going to produce motorcycles that need a great deal of modifications that will negatively effect emissions.
