Even the worst, most pollution inducing motorcycle on the planet doesn't hold a candle to my 90s truck.
Hell, even most modern trucks are better despite being massive, considering the improvements to fuel efficiency and such...
Arguing a motorcycle is worse because one specific area of its carbon footprint is slightly higher than cars depending on model of both is weird to me.
And I don't remember the last time I saw a motorcycle without the obvious cat hugging the engine before it winds to the muffler. Note: usually the motorcycles I get to see close are people who are more environment conscious than your average redneck. I'm sure the shop down the road specializes in removing them. I KNOW they offer "diesel tuning services" to let people "roll coal" so it wouldn't surprise me...
I saw a few in Osaka, but yeah its quite rare even on 90s bikes.
