New French Motorcycle Law!

I am sure many of us regularly tour on our bikes in France, well as from the 1st April we may all have a big problem thanks to the French law makers.

I first picked up on this new law following a brief article letter posted in the April edition of the The BMW Club Journal and immediately found the following more detailed explanation on the internet at http://www.motosportsbusiness.com/new-french-motorcycle-laws-protest-nest-pas/

Its amazing that a US biker site has this but there is nothing in the UK biker press about it. Anyway quoting from www.motorsportsbusiness.com 's article here is the new French law:-

"A new motorcycle law that comes into effect in April. Any law enforcement officer, with nothing more to go on that a suspicion, can take away a motorcycle, have it towed (at the owners expense) to a garage to have a technical person check out your motorcycle for legal nonconformity. The law does not stipulate that the person checking out your motorcycle needs to be technically proficient with motorcycles - any old car mechanic is “qualified” to do the job!

After the owner has “repaired” his or her motorcycle to put it into a “legal” state, they will need to have it verified again by the so-called experts. The owner will need to pay for everything, the towing, the initial expert review, the repairs and the validation by the experts. If a motorcycle is towed, and found to be legal, too bad for the owner, he still needs to pay!"

Our question here at www.inter-bike.co.uk to all you bikers out there, does anyone know if this applies to bikes visiting France as well or just French registered bikes? Cos if it applies to any bike not only do the French local bikers have a big problem but any of us who choose to tour on motorbikes in France may well have.

I am sure most of us have modified our bikes in some way, after-market screen, aftermarket legal exhaust etc.,. This new law is a potential minefield!

Anyway, please can someone let us know more detail, so we can share it with all bikers out there?

That's all for now!

Ride safe.

Yamaha Blaster ATV Best Picture





Yamaha Blaster ATV Best Picture
A lot of blaster owners will best remember this Yamaha ATV for what it didn’t have as much as for what it did. No reverse, no automatic clutch and no electric start have it behind some of its competition when it comes to model features but the lower msrp was well appreciated.

Suzuki Katana





Suzuki Katana
The original Suzuki Katana was a then-novel sports motorcycle designed in 1979 - 1980 time frame by the southern Bavarian firm of Target Design at the request of Suzuki Deutschland specifically for their market needs.

The Katana name was later applied to a range of sports-touring motorcycles in North America through the 2006 model year (also offered in Europe but without the Katana moniker), and starting at the change of the millennia to a line of 49cc/50cc scooters in Europe.

Yamaha Blaster Best Picture





Yamaha Blaster Best Picture
The Yamaha Blaster is a 200cc air-cooled single cylinder two-stroke all-terrain vehicle produced as an entry-level machine manufactured in Japan and sold in the United States from 1988 to 2006. Because of the Blaster's initial low price tag, it sold in large numbers for many years[citation needed]. Its two stroke engine is easily modified by enthusiasts and a large aftermarket now exists for the quad. A wide range of add-ons are readily available from simple bolt on exhausts and suspension parts to complete aftermarket frames and larger displacement engines.

The heavily finned, air-cooled Blaster engine has roots from a water cooled machine, as evidenced by the plugged water pump casting on the right side of the engine. The history of the engine in its water cooled form can be traced back to the Canadian market Dt200 and the Australian market WR200. Theoretically, it would be possible to use parts from either of these bikes and build an all-Yamaha water cooled Blaster engine, or to simply swap the engines since the engine mounts are nearly identical.

For the 2003 model year the Blaster was updated with a re-styled front nose, and the headlight assembly was moved down from the handlebars to the nose. The problematic mechanical rear and front drum brakes were replaced by dual hydraulic disc brakes in both the front and rear.

Because of U.S. government emissions requirements, the Blaster was discontinued for 2007 and was replaced by the entry-level Yamaha Raptor 250, which uses a cleaner-burning, less powerful four-stroke engine.
