New NZ lane-use rules start today. Motorcycle riders now need to leave at least 1.5 metres when passing cyclists and other specified road users, and give way to buses pulling out on roads limited to 60 km/h or less. Here’s what changes for your next ride.
Motorcycle rego looking different this year? ACC changed its motorcycle levy groups on 1 July, and the increase depends on your bike’s engine size. There’s also a new 25% discount on the ACC levy for eligible riders who complete Ride Forever Gold.
We’ve broken down the figures and the discount rules in the latest article. Have you noticed a change at renewal, or have you done the Gold course? 🏍️
CFMOTO’s 1000MT-X is now in NZ, and there’s a lower-seat LS version too. Both are listed at $19,990 plus on-road costs, with the LS bringing the seat height down from 870 mm to 830 mm.
We’ve taken a look at what each version offers and what’s worth checking on a test ride. Would the lower seat make a difference for you, or would you choose the standard model? 🏍️
