Well, if the sideshow's over, I'll just say I agree with Pilgrim's comment that it's not bad value compared with a car.
The 54mpg I get from the Fazer works out at just over 120g CO2/km, but a (post March 2001) car with emissions in that range would just hit the £105 level of road tax. So from that point of view, £57 for a 600cc bike tax disc could be seen as reasonable… even going some way towards recognising that we benefit other road users by reducing congestion.
