Are CATS a legal rqmnt for bikes yet?
Discussion
Surely as long as your using the original cans with the relevent E no. then the MOT station should be okay?
I wonder how much noisier it will be, and if the silencers are capable of keeping it quiet enough to get through a MOT?
Its what happens when you buy a lardy cruiser for fat yanks though
VN1500 
it makes me smile though, while staying almost within the speed limits.. yes of course int he ideal world I would have kept a sportsbike, but I don't fancy loss-of-license.
Yeah good point, the cans will be as original... hmm! this is an interesting point. I'm sure that the cat does most of the silencing though??

The answer is no. Alot of bikes still come without cats. However, alot of bikes are now getting cats to meet stricter regulations in other countries and upcoming legislation. IE one model for the whole world that meets the strictest emissions regulaions. Rather than one model per country. Thus reducing development and manufacturing costs.
It is on the way but you don't need them yet unless the bike can't pass the standard MOT emission test without them (most bikes can easily).
