To be honest I don't mind £80 A year for the bike given that to tax a car of the equivalent performance you'd probably be looking around £400 A year. i don't agree with the random engine size thing but heyday least it's a two their system and not like the car one.
Also I wouldn't pull at the thread of motorbikes and co2 emissions as a study i read a year or two back proved that bikes are much more harmful to your health due to another more dangerous gas that comes out of them. I cant remember off the top of my head but some sort of nitrate or something that's far worse than carbon monoxide, either way if the government actually looked into it and started taxing people based on how dangerous the toxins in their exhaust gases are, us motorcyclists would be screwed
