TFL has ignored my email so far so I sent them another mentioning that I will be at 55 Broadway St James Park tonight for a London Underground IT forum and will be paying them a visit in person as they share the same building 
Then this afternoon, lo and behold, they replied.
No mention of exempting the whole model. It looks as though they are going to want a COC for each bike but I will ask them again once I have the certificate.
This is the email....

Dear Mr Gorman
Thank you for your email of 31 January regarding your vehicle and the ULEZ.
I'm sorry to hear about the concerns you have with the introduction of the ULEZ and I appreciate the time you've taken to contact us.
The ULEZ
We do understand the difficulties some families may face because of having a vehicle that doesn’t meet the ULEZ standards.
However, the ULEZ does not require the purchase of an expensive new vehicle. Euro 4 compliant petrol cars have been available from around 2000, meaning there are affordable second-hand vehicles available. Furthermore, as part of the Mayor’s Healthy Streets approach, we are encouraging people to walk, cycle or take public transport as much as possible instead of relying on their private car.
Cities around the country are implementing Clean Air Zones and it makes sense for the government to adopt a national approach to minimising impacts on families and businesses as we deliver vitally needed improvements to our air quality. This is a national issue that requires a national solution and we are urging Londoners to write to their local MP to raise this issue with Government.
For more information on the ULEZ ahead of its launch please visit our website using the link below:
tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone
You mention that your motorcycle's NOx emission levels meets the standard to be exempt from the ULEZ. If you could send us a copy of your V5C or your certificate of conformity confirming the NOx emission levels of your vehicle, we can look to ensure that this motorcycle is included in the exemption list, thus giving you an option to travel into the city without having to pay the charge.
Thanks again for contacting us. If there is anything else we can help you with, please reply to this email. Alternatively, you can call us on 0343 222 1234 and we'll be happy to help you.
Kind regards
