No road tax either.

They already tried that several times but to no avail.
There is a new project scheduled to oct.2017 about a MoT required only when selling the bike.
I was in the Netherlands a couple of weeks ago and a colleague enjoyed telling me they don't have a test their either

That was a fun little read. I sometimes feel guilty because I don't ride mine often enough but looking at the posts here one of my usual rides would be longer than a lot of the annual mileage you guys do.
