Thank you for the quick replies. @Buckster how do I check whether the bike has been accepted for zero road tax and has had its taxation class changed officially to historic? This something the current owner of a motorcycle would know I assume? @XTreme I am Dutch, originally from Limburg but lived in The Hague for a long time. Glad your son is enjoying Groningen!

I've been living on London for 5 years now and have decided I'd like to ride a bike here in the UK as well. In Holland I used to ride a Honda VT600C. Planning to buy a bike older than 40 years old this time, either a UK brand, BMW or Harley maybe. Since I live in London I have the whole TFL ULEZ and Congestion Charge thing to be aware of, something I still don't quite get. I thought 40 year old motorcycles are all exempt from both charges. But when I check registration numbers of 40 year old bikes that are for sale on the TFL website (to check which charges apply) it often states that both charges need to be paid. I don't want to be surprised by a high bill for these charges once I have bought the bike. Can anyone confirm that all bikes older than 40 years are exempt from both ULEZ and Congestion Charges in London? Thanks!
