NZ Transport Agency orders most significant safety change in decades for motorbikes

So, what does that mean for people buying a new bike after April next year? Probably just means a restriction to what bikes are sold here, any model that doesn't have ABS will not be available to NZ buyers. Dearer bikes won't be affected much at all, but some budget bikes will no longer be available here.
Bikes need ABS in Europe already. Small bikes are equipped overseas, it's just a matter of having it as part of the package available here.
Current-model motorcycles and imported used motorcycles will need to have ABS fitted as standard from 1 November 2021.
Several limited exceptions are included in the rule change, including the importation of classic and collectable motorcycles.
This worries me. Who gets to define classic or collectable?
Every time the government gets concerned about my safety, I seem to end up poorer.
ABS is nice to have, but who cares if its available or not. If you can't stop quickly on gravel with a single front disc with 2 pot caliper and a drum brake, maybe bikes are just not for you? I'd rather they made rider training compulsory rather than what kinda brakes you have.
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
