Fair enough, just asking.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Could not agree with you more, I think what we have is someone in the political side spouting off because he dislikes bikes, discrimination would come strongly into play if this was put forward .
Sorry but the answer here lies the cost of insurance, most younger age cannot afford. Also to pass a car test in today's world in the UK would cost the person on average £3000.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

This reminds me of the so called plan to send asylum seekers to an island in the south pacific or old oil rigs and cruise liners . There was probably a brain storm meeting, somebody suggested those things and were immediately told "don't be stupid" but it gets out in the media and people start screaming and shouting

My point is that those 40 somethings were never interested in motorcycles when young now it’s a fashion statement. Young riders can still get affordable insurance but for smaller capacity bikes, which is exactly what I was saying - start small work your way up and your skull set increases plus your premiums reduce.
Insurance for 40 somethings for sportsbikes is ridiculous but they’ve disposable income.
Don’t listen to Chinese whispers.
