These bikes are no longer sold in Europe
Motorradtest.de bids farewell to great motorcycles
The team of Motorradtest.de wishes all motorcyclists a happy start to the new year. With the end of 2020, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to some great motorcycles due to the Euro 5 changeover. Which ones are, we show you in a video.
The changeover to Euro 5 means a lot of effort and money for the manufacturers. Therefore, not all engines are homologated on Euro 5. The requirements of Euro 5 are tough: emissions of nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide must be reduced by about a third. This requirement applies to all two-wheelers that travel faster than 45 km/h. It is quite understandable that the manufacturers tighten their model ranges and, above all, no longer produce motorcycles that were not among the best performers anyway.
