Posted May 16, 201311 yr I noticed this year when my road tax renewal came, it did not give me the option of 6 months only 12! I assume this is to stop people taxing for the summer and putting on a sorn for the winter and so dodge the new insurance rules ?
May 16, 201311 yr I think you can only tax for 6 months on the higher capacity machines, could be wrong.
May 16, 201311 yr i know i couldnt tax my DT50 for 6 months because it was such a low cost, but my fireblade and XJ600 both had options for 6 months O.o
May 16, 201311 yr Same here, mine allows 6 or 12 months, must be as Grouch says it's such a small amount it's not worth their while otherwise. and of course it's not their money.
May 16, 201311 yr Author last year I had the option of both, not really concerned about it as its only £34 for year and I don't put mine away for winter anyway just use it less just wondered if it had posed a problem for any of the summer biker's out there ?
May 16, 201311 yr Moderator If they hide their bike in ropey weather they wont ride it much in the summer either. Rode around a 600 on the dt in the rain today. Poor fazer. Look on the blokes face said it all he was terrified of rain i didnt consider worth putting my overtrousers on for.
May 16, 201311 yr Up to now I've only been offered 12 months, this is the first time in 25 years I've been given the option of 6 months but as I ride all year it doesn't matter, maybe it is became its getting dearer.
