@thompsonneil15 Hi Neil, I can confirm that it is vehicle tax and not road tax. The revenue from individual taxes is not generally devoted to specific items of expenditure. There has been no direct relationship between motoring taxation and road expenditure since 1937.

@RealOwenDuffy Thanks for replying. Based on the spec you've provided the bike is not considered to be a motor vehicle. Therefore, it's not required to be registered, pay road tax or be insured as a motor vehicle. The rider doesn't need a driving licence either. I hope this helps. - Rob
