Big cars lose favour as fuel prices soar

Motorcycle registrations rose 18.9% last year to 11,540 the highest increase for 20 years. On a monthly basis, motorbike registrations were 50% higher in October 2007 compared with October 2006.


Wonder how many cars were registered in the same period?

Well I can say I have contributed nicely to the increase. 12 months ago the closest I got to bike was the scooter I had 12yrs ago - now I am up to two bikes and we have five between myself and my partner.....

I bet 90% of them are scooters.
