So you own a 600... isn't it actually a 598?

Its still a better system than England had in the 20s & 30s where stuff was taxed on bore size. It caused the creation of a bunch of super long stroke under performing piles of crap, which put English vehicles on the backfoot for years.

I wonder how the guy with the electric Daytona will get on.

Will anyone believe him ?

It's a shitter being a few cc's over but at least it is a fast bike. Feel for those poor bastards with 650 singles...

Like my 39hp KLR650. Currently looking for a KLR600 barrel. Once re-registered,
in will go a 705 kit. Fuck'em.

IIRC, the categories are

up to 125cc
126 to 600cc
601cc and over

So - I reckon go for 600.5cc, and pay nothing

It irritates me when official-minded people use discrete values for continuous quantities ...
