Club Concessional Registration Scheme

The BMWMCC Incorporated (the Club) is affiliated with the Council ACT Motor Clubs (CACTMC) and granted authority to operate a concessional registration scheme (CRS).  More information on the CACTMC can be found on the Council website https://cactmc.org.au/.

The BMWMCC can only accept CRS applications from ACT residents who intend to register a OEM (original equipment manufacture) BMW motorcycle.  The Club does not endorse modified BMW's, sidecars or other brand motorcycles.

The CRS is only available to current and continuous financial members of the Club.  The membership MUST extend 6 months past the Club financial year ending 28 February yyyy.

The Club must notify the Council of ACT Motor Clubs, who in-turn notify Access Canberra (Road Services) whenever a member holding CRS with the Club is unfinancial - even a short lapse!  So renew your membership before 28 February annually.

The registered vehicle owner is solely responsible for the "road worthiness" of their vehicle must meet and maintain all of the following criteria to hold CRS for their motorcycle.

    There are significant penalties and legal liability in riding an unregistered motorcycle.

    Eligible Vehicle

    Motorcycles that qualify for concessional registration with the BMWMCC include:

    • Veteran motorcycles manufactured before 1 January 1919;
    • Vintage motorcycles manufactured from 1 January 1919 to 31 December 1930 inclusive; and,
    • Historic motorcycles manufactured from 1 January 1931 which are 30 year of age inclusive.

    Club Inspection

    The Club has appointed a number of 'inspectors' for the purpose of establishing CRS eligibility and listed on this page .  It is the owners responsibility to arrange for the inspection of their motorcycle:

    • when wanting to apply for initial CRS, and
    • before the expiration of their concessional registration each year.
    Email or call a Club inspector to arrange a mutually convenient time to inspect your motorcycle.  Do Not leave this to the day before your registration runs out as there is no provision for an extension.  Riding an unregistered motorcycle is against the law.
