I just had a look at our requirements, usualy the same as the GB seems motorcycles are not required to have SVA, cant see them mentioned anywhere, however you will still need the MOT test, and I guess our bikes are E approved.

I cant see any mention of the particular requirements for speedometers on it, but I was quoted the regulation at the time. The bike they failed me on was an CZ 180. over here (Northern Ireland)the MOT test is conducted by a government agency and not your dealer or local garage as is the case in the rest of the UK, I think they can be a bit strict sometimes.
