Has killed off a fair few bikes in 2017. Bikes like the XJR, VMAX and CBR600 have been discontinued because companies are not interested in developing new engines to meet the new laws and Euro 5 will narrow the field even more.
Also as a side effect people on older bikes will be priced off the road. Personally as a 90's and late 80's bike guy this depresses me if shit like that gets off the ground here my bike that I do not want to replace will be in essence un registerable unless club pates give me a way around that. Will that happen here? Who knows but Europe is certainly taking it to the people.
Sure some may argue that it drives innovation ect but all I see is companies having a set total of engines that will go into a set class of bikes and just make everything less inspired and boring.
Whaddya think?
