So, a technical control for motorcycles?
Following our complete file concerning the technical control , it seems we had aimed right with our estimates concerning the form that the motorcycle CT would take in France.
It's for when?
07/09/2021: Meeting between the government and the FFMC
The purpose of the meeting is to define and show Europe that the CT is not necessary in France and to repeal the decree of August 11 before the end of 2021.
Then a new decree will announce the measures that replace the motorcycle technical control.

NO TECHNICAL CONTROL FOR MOTORCYCLES ✨🎉👏
This Friday, September 03, 2021 in the morning, the Minister of Transport, Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, announced that the motorcycles will not be subject to a technical inspection as envisaged.
🎙 Jean-Baptiste Djebarri: "To answer your question, there will be no technical control for two wheels as planned. We are going to rethink the device".

Indeed, the government plans to put in place different measures in order to respond to security issues. As permitted by this European law in the event of non-application of the motorcycle CT.
For example, set up a module in the driving license concerning road safety as proposed by the minister.
This is good news for motorcyclists.
08/12/2021: NEW DEVELOPMENT
"The technical control for two-wheelers (motorcycles and scooters) is suspended this Thursday at the request of Emmanuel Macron." ( The Parisian )
The Head of State is going to meet with biker federations to discuss the subject.
The motorcycle technical control was to begin in 2023.
It is now official , the decree has been published in the Official Journal:
Come into force scheduled for January 1, 2023 .
This decree aims to modify the texts of laws of the highway code in order to add the elements associated with the motorcycle technical control.
This is the first stone brought to the building. Now, the detail of the technical control will be defined in the year but we already know some elements.
The decree is published but it has been suspended by President Emmanuel Macron.
05/17/2022: NEW DEVELOPMENT
The Council of State declared that the decree was null and void.
Don't listen to the media who don't know the subject and are spreading that there will be a CT.
Here is a video of the first concerned, Moto Journal and the FFMC:
11/02/2022: NEW DEVELOPMENT
It's the return of the series, with a new episode and a new twist.
The Council of State has ruled illegal the repeal of the technical control of the 2 wheels because of its insufficiencies on the environmental level.
The alternative measures to the CT proposed by the government in collaboration with the biker federations.
The Council of State considers the alternative measures ineffective.
Since this is not yet final, we are impatiently awaiting the new twist (or not).

03/01/2022: THE LATEST INFORMATION
The technical control for motorcycles would be lightened with four times fewer operations than the current technical control for cars.
The inspection frequency would also be changed, from 5 years after first registration and then every 3 years , rather than every 4 years for cars.
The Minister also confirmed the adoption of other measures such as the approval of E85 boxes, making it possible to reduce polluting emissions and to obtain a less expensive gray card, as well as the possibility for motorcycles to benefit from premiums for the conversion.
The FFMC regrets that the various stakeholders are unable to agree and encourages motorcyclists to continue their mobilization. They even plan to call for civil disobedience against the announced technical control.
What elements should the motorcycle CT cover?
The motorcycle technical control should focus on 5 controls:
- Visual inspection of the brakes
- Visual tire inspection
- Visual lighting control
- Sound control
- Pollution control.
Note the importance of the term used: visual inspection .
The modalities indicated in the decree
Concerning the modalities of the motorcycle technical control, this will be carried out at the same place as the car technical controls. That is to say, among professionals such as DEKRA , AS Autosecurity , Vérif'Autos etc...
For the price, we are talking about 50€ .
For frequency, this should be 4 years for new motorcycles then every 2 years .
Excerpt from article 8:
"Motorized vehicles with two or three wheels and motorized quadricycles registered before January 1, 2023 are subject to a mandatory technical inspection according to the following schedule:
- The first inspection of vehicles registered before January 1, 2016 is carried out in 2023;
- The first inspection of vehicles registered between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020 is carried out in 2024;
- The first inspection of vehicles registered between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 is carried out in 2025;
- The first inspection of vehicles registered between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 is carried out in 2026.
For vintage motorcycles, it's the same rule as cars.
The opinion of biker defenders
For its part, the FFMC is against this technical control which will in no way improve the rider safety.
It is considered a masquerade because established without any consultation, without reflection and without a democratic vote.
In the end, this motorcycle technical control only benefits companies that sell technical control because they see an easy future financial windfall. The investment will be low and the income high.
For its part, the French State, will set up the CT just so as not to be slapped by the European Union and be penalized millions of euros....
What impact on prepared motorcycles
More fear than harm concerning this technical control which will not affect the freedom of enthusiasts to be able to personalize their motorcycles.
Indeed, the change of parts on his motorcycle should not impact the technical control . (Like on cars).
Subject to having brakes, indicators etc... Of course!
This motorcycle technical control looks like a scoop , because the majority of motorcyclists are careful and regularly check their brakes, tires and lights (and not every 2 years...).
What advice to prepare
We strongly recommend that you always ride with a well- maintained motorcycle , and that you carry out regular checks (not every 2 years as this inspection assumes...) of the safety devices.
For the brakes , we check the wear of the pads and diskettes, as well as the shoes for the drum brakes. They are changed when they are worn out.
For the tires , we check the wear indicators, as well as the age of the tires and we change them if they are too old or worn.
For the lighting, the correct operation of all the lights and indicators is checked. The elements can be replaced if they are not performing well.
Regarding sound control , a DB killer baffle or a silencer with baffle will allow you to be within the DB limits for the control. Other bikers will opt for the original exhaust during the CT...
For the pollution control , this mainly concerns recent motorcycles. However, all motorcycles could be impacted as the implementation of ZFE or similar restriction.
Conclusion
What is your opinion on this technical control which is only technical in reality?
Are you also relieved to be able to continue to be able to prepare your motorcycles? 🙏
What is the actual application of this law now? How soon will our motorcycles on the road have to pass the CT?
How much will it bring to the companies that will carry out the control?
This suspension is good news in view of a cancellation of the CT? Or is it a few extra months/years of earning?
