New Motorcycle Tax in Spain

According to Clutch & Chrome, Spain will soon be raising taxes for vehicles that emit CO2 gas over a certain threshold. This alone would not be an issue since most motorcycles and scooters are teetotalers compared to four wheeled vehicles. What the government in Spain did was to also LOWER the emissions threshold for motorcycles and scooters by 33 to 40%.

According to a European motorcycle industry group, motorcycle and scooter registration has already seen a 25% drop. This new tax may drop it another 15%.
