    I think that an nct for a bike is a bad idea becuase a bike needs to be inspected far more regularly then the government could on enforce (weekly at least). Ncts would only instill false confidence. The bike licence states my driving one on a public road you agree to maintain your bike to a safe standard.
    Why not just make it a offense to ride an obviously unsafe bike ?

    Rules

    There are a number of things you should do before your motorcycle driving test and a number of legal requirements to comply with.

    Check in advance that your motorcycle complies with any kW restrictions on your learner permit
    Check in advance that the vehicle which you are presenting to test meets the representative vehicle criteria for the category of test you are taking
    Clearly display your motor tax and insurance certificates
    Ensure the bike is roadworthy and its tyres have a minimum thread of at least 1mm – the legal thread-depth limit for motorcycle tyres in Ireland
    Make sure your brake lights and indictors are working properly
    Clean the bike thoroughly
    Ensure you have your Vehicle Registration Certificate regarding your motorcycle, and the restriction certificate if applicable, with you on the day of the test to present to the Driver Tester.
