In the document, freely available on the BMF's website and also to be published in the summer edition
of the BMF magazine Motorcycle Rider, the BMF point
out that the Type Approval (TA) regulations currently under discussion are primarily aimed at improving and harmonising the existing type approval process first introduced in 1994 *, but with so much ill - informed comment and scaremongering surrounding the proposals, the BMF are
concerned that motorcyclists are not getting the true picture, with some even incorrectly claiming that modifying
bikes will be illegal.
