Need some help here folks as this makes zero sense to me.

Apparently a Euro 5 motorcycle isn't eligible for a sticker, but a Euro 5 car is.

Does this mean my bike's exempt, or simply that I can't ride in those zones?

Any help very much appreciated.

Cheers!
 
Just put it down as Euro 4 and get your sticker.
It says on the website “Euro 4 2 wheels” with no mention of Euro 5 2 wheels.

How old is the bike?

What does the website if you use the “no Euro rating shown on registration“ option and then enter the date of registration in the box below?

Edit: Where are you going? I ask as there’s only a few areas in France that have active LEZs right now and A CritAir 2 (Yellow) sticker is fine for all of them.

Just ensure you're not paying more than a fiver for it. Plenty of scam websites appeared reselling these for vastly inflated prices.
 
I'm no expert but I don't think a Euro 5 motorcycle needs one:


Coming in six colours, they apply to all motorised vehicles, from mopeds to HGVs, and class each one according to its emissions – the idea is to keep older more polluting vehicles out of some urban areas. Bikes meeting the Euro3 standard will need a yellow Crit’Air while for Euro4 bikes the colour is purple, and Euro5 machines don’t need a sticker at all. Electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles get the coveted green sticker, giving them preferential access and parking in low emissions zones.
