I can't remember whether the LTA is directly responsible for the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) which every vehicle must have, but there will certainly be information about it on the LTA site. By controlling the number of COEs issued for different categories of vehicles - duration of a COE is 10 years - this in effect controls the number of vehicles in each class on the island. It should be possible to see on the LTA website both how many COEs are issued and their current cost.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Two other items about motorcycles in Singapore.
