the bike mot is £25.00 when i said they sit around waiting for the computer, i meant, few years ago they weren't making enough money out of it, some types took longer than others, so they came up with a time of 30 Min's to do a bike, my old yamaha used to take 11 Min's, i know as i timed him doing it, now because they brought in the online mot, the dealer has to log in, do the test then put the information to the dvla, but if you bike only takes 15 Min's etc, because the dealer is hooked up to the dvla he has to take longer other wise they think he's up to no good, so thats why your waiting around, its suppose to make it faster, lol
also thats right its the dealer who makes the money, as they buy a book of mot slips for whatever the fee theses days, then they charge you a set fee for the test, so a busy mot centre is coining it, i used to work in motorcycle shop many years back, and the pass or failure had to be sent down to dlva,
