ULEZ and how it effects the Gen1:

My reply from MAG via email -

With respect to ULEZ, the current situation is as follows. The initial implementation (due 8[sup]th[/sup] April 2019) will cover the same geographic boundaries as the current Congestion Charging Zone.  In 2021 the boundaries will be extended out to the north and south circulars.  Current requirements for motorcycles to be exempted from the charge is Euro3 (implemented July 2007).  Non-compliant motorcycles will be charged £12.50 per day.
MAG have successfully demonstrated that many pre Euro3 motorcycles are compliant with the Euro3 NO2 emission standard of 0.15ug/km.  On that basis we have gained acceptance from TfL that any motorcycle proven to be compliant with the NO2 limit of 0.15ug/km will be given individual exemption on a bike by bike basis.  This places burden of proof on the individual owner.  Proof can be provided in the form of a Certificate of Conformity supplied by the manufacturer (application for a CoC in some cases can cost up to £150, dependent on the manufacturer), or by having the individual emissions of the bike tested at a certified test centre.  To date we are still awaiting definition from TfL of the relevant test and certification of the testing facilities that will be accepted.
Naturally we are pushing that the exemption should be applied to all compliant pre Euro3 bikes, with no burden of proof placed on the owner, but this is yet to be accepted by TfL.  Given that the time remaining before implementation is now just 6 weeks, we have formally requested a delay to the implementation of charging for motorcycles due to the delays caused at TfL’s end to resolve the outstanding technical issues.
Overarching all this, we continue to argue for a blanket exemption for all motorcycles of any age and a policy to promote modal shift from single occupancy cars to motorcycles to reduce congestion and emissions.

Regarding the line -

To date we are still awaiting definition from TfL of the relevant test and certification of the testing facilities that will be accepted.

I have spoke to TFL and they dont fucking know and told me to speak to VOSA who themselves don't fucking know and are getting fucked of with TFL sending people to them. Vosa did suggest taking my bike to a class 4 MOT testing station which I did on Saturday but because they are not up for motorcycles the figures they got when they poked their senser up my pipe (pun intended) the Co2, HCL and Lambda numbers did not marry up to what we should be seeing for that bike.
