The BMF have put out a press releases today that draws attention to the proposal of draconian motorcycle power limits being imposed on motorcycles throughout the EU. You can read the full press release on www.inter-bike.co.uk here.
In a nutshell, EU type approval regulation framework, up until now only applying to cars and commercial vehicles, is being considered for motorcycles. One of the main components is to limit power to 100bhp (74Kw), whilst the proposed framework has some merits, I am sure all motorcyclist out there will not want a mandatory power cap. They have the 100 BHP limit in France now, but and has not received a road safety benefit from it.
Please lobby your MEP while you can now to stop this becoming law!
The BMF have a draft letter you can use, available at http://www.bmf.co.uk/pages/bmf_main_pages.php?main_page_id=778 and a list of MEP's at http://www.europarl.org.uk/uk_meps/MembersMain.htm
The full EU consulatation document is available at http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/automotive/mcwg_meetings/27_02_2009/index.htm
Make your voice heard now, else we may well see the motorcycle power cap happening!
Ride safe.
