Saw that too but they do not say if the £175 testing fee is a one off for life or an annual thing.
I am selling my 2004 Bandit 600 SK4 as it does not meet the standards. Got a 2018 XSR700 instead which on paper meets the standards but...
If they started doing emissions for motorbikes at MOT stations, then that would be a problem for most people who have de-catted their bikes as they would need to re-install their original exhaust/air filter/ECU mapping every 12 months.

My reading was that once you pass, that's it and your specific bike is uploaded as an exemption. You'd hope that still applies when you come to sell it.
ECU mapping
Time to buy a load of Bluetooth ECU dongles from Aliexpress!
Emissions for bikes at MOT would make more sense imo. If you're motivated enough to swap out your exhaust and remap then you can have what you want.
I'm sure you could probably get some variable ECU with a "MOT" setting.
