1,000cc+ Superbikes Are Banned Here — Should Track-Only Riders Get an Exception?

In Parliament on Nov 4, Deputy Transport Minister Prasanna Gunasena confirmed motorcycles over 1,000cc are still banned, after SJB MP Suranga Rathnayaka asked if the ban could be relaxed for racing-track use and about several big bikes currently sitting in police custody. A committee has been appointed, no decision yet. The case for easing it: enthusiasts already import these bikes one way or another, they end up seized and rotting in custody instead of being ridden somewhere controlled, and a track-only permit with strict licensing could actually bring that riding above ground. The case against: Sri Lanka barely has proper circuits, our main roads and police can't handle the big bikes already here, and "track-only" on paper has a way of ending up on the Southern Expressway at 2am. If you ride, or know someone with a seized bike waiting on this committee, what's actually happened to it? And if the ban is eased only for track use, do you trust that it stays that way? මේ තීරණය ගන්න කලින්, මේකෙන් හරියට පාලනය වෙයිද කියලා ඔබ හිතන්නේ කොහොමද?
