Petition Base the vehicle excise duty for motorcycles on CO2 emissions

I wish to raise awareness of the issue and for the Government to amend the way that motorcycles are taxed in respect of the cost of vehicle excise duty (VED).

More details

Motorcyclists are treated unfairly when it comes to excise duty. Many motorcycles are more efficient when comparing harmful CO2 emissions, which is currently used to decide the vehicle excise rate on cars.

Motorcycle excise duty is based on engine size, so a motorcycle which emits less CO2 than a car can still have a higher excise duty than the car. The same emissions criteria used for cars should be used for motorcycles, to fairly balance the cost.
