Forgive my ignorance but what is MOT test?
Ian it is basicly a safety test which we have every year, you have your first after the bike is three years old from date of manufacture. They test the brakes, and also calibrate the weight ratio for each brake as well. and also the electrical side of the bike. Make sure really that everything that should work works. They also test the emissions from the exhaust and the noise level..
Everything is done by computer these days so you cannot fiddle like we used to do in the old days or buy one. the screen on the special computer is hooked up to the Driver and vehicle licensing Centre and a certificate is printed for you to keep.
The police know before they even stop you if you hold a full licence for the bike you are riding, if it is taxed (currently £65.00 a year to keep your bike on the road, differs for different engine capacity) and insured.
Also had mine pass with the off roads as well, at a private MOT station..
