Reduce road tax on motorcycles.

Reduce road tax on motorcycles.

The Issue

we have cars now on zero road tax, and some on 20 and 30 pounds, yet 600 750 and some higher cc bikes are paying 80 pounds, this being  a lot more than some cars.  Bikes are always very fuel efficient, and emissions low, so why should we be penalised for being bikers. also 50cc scooters, a fee of £15.00 a year tax is levied, 50cc seriously what emissions can they possibly put out that causes problems, should these not be free motorbikes are mostly parked in a garage for part of the year, so I say free for bikes upto 1000 cc and reduced by 50% for above. Bikes cause less damage to road surfaces, they cause less emmisions, take up less space, and cause less jams.

You increased car tax in some cases by over 200 pounds in one go, how disgusting, my own went from 215 to 280 pounds a year, you are clearly making a killing out of us the motorists. maybe it is time you called all the troops back from active service and stopped spending billions on war and after care for the injured.
