stick the whole bloody lot on fuel !!!!!! you can't get anywhere without it and the ones that use the roads most will pay the most, Everyone would also be insured and tax duty as well stick the whole lot on fuel so you pay as you go simples

Not so simples, the add on to fuel would not be able to reflect the differences in vehicles like the current (flawed) system and bike would pay the same "add on" as a V8 car. My car does 45mpg normal and 38-40 spirited driving, my gen 1 if ridden spirited won't do that so then I'd be paying more tax on my bike where now it's half the car.

Ok not simple but raises an interesting point. The more 'spirited' the driver/rider, the higher the insurance risk and the more fuel used per mile? Smaller engined, more economical vehicles tend to get driven more carefully* so it could work in theory.
