Nope, but it does help to be able to see behind you

Pub argument, or thinking of removing them?

If the latter, I’d not recommend it.

Unless you do what a few chaps I know who have added the H2R wings to their H2 and rear view camera added to the bike.

As said can't see why you would not want mirrors unless your on track

My TTR-250 went through an mot yesterday without them so no, I don't think that they're required.

Pain in the arse not having any though.

Of course when I were a lad, mirrors vibrated so much they were pointless anyway and just added extra weight and wind resistance so got binned asap.

In those days you just looked over your shoulder to make sure it wasn't plod you had overtaken...

They aren't a legal requirement but like others have said I'd recommend them

I don't like the standard ones on most bikes so run the tear drop style that goes on the bar ends a bit like the Mv agusta dragster look
