Wel this has come up so many times over here, as u may wel know out car testing service here is called the NCT and our commercial vehicle is the DOE but the government has looked into putting a test in for bikes, but they came up with a figure that only about 2% of vehicles on Irish roads a motorcycles and the cost of putting equipment into the Nct centres for testing them and the cost if training the staff would be collosal, so much so that even if every bike went through this the money that would be spent on this would be got back for about 15-20 years of doing the test
