    You know, thinking about it I'm sure that I would object to anti-lock on a dirt bike, assuming that they could keep the wieght down and the price reasonable but for me I don't want it on the front. I never have a prob modulateing the front but often tiems I find that I'm unknowingly dragging the rear (well unknowing until I get the side slip).

    pretty sure (from what i read and understand of the legislation) this is what is exempt:

    Enduro motorcycles
    (a) seat height ≥ 900 mm and
    (b) ground clearance ≥ 310 mm and
    (c) overall gear ratio in highest gear (primary gear ratio x secondary gear ratio in the highest speed x final drive ratio) ≥ 6,0 and
    (d) mass in running order plus the mass of the propulsion battery in case of electric or hybrid electric propulsion ≤ 140 kg and
    (e) no seating position for a passenger.

    Trial motorcycles
    (a) seat height ≤ 700 mm and
    (b) ground clearance ≥ 280 mm and
    (c) fuel tank capacity ≤4 liters and
    (d) overall gear ratio in highest gear (primary gear ratio x secondary gear ratio in the highest speed x final drive ratio) ≥ 7,5 and
    (e) mass in running order ≤ 100 kg and
    (f) no seating position for a passenger.

    This is just your normal euro B/S that comes out from some idiot in brussels with nothing else better to do. If there is enough of you guys that lobby against it im sure we can make this not happen.
