Closed Ban Chinese import motorcycles from the UK

Closed on

Chinese import motorcycles are inferior quality and are a danger on UK roads. It is not unknown for critical parts to come loose and cause near accidents.

Chinese import motorcycles are usually bought by newly qualified riders. Time and time again as a vehicle technician I have seen critical parts coming loose or oil leaks nearly causing accidents, an example of this is that one of our motorcycle NVQ students 2019 bike had a major fuel leak whilst he was riding nearly causing a fire. The bike was only a few months old.

The Chinese market is poorly regulated and these bikes are not fit for UK roads.
