Gump Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Even when the bike gets 80mpg...based on emmissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motociclista Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 People who say motorcycles are cheaper to operate than cars are usually ignoring the costs of tires and valve adjustments.People who say motorcycles have less environmental impact than a car are usually ignoring the effects of a catalytic converter.People who would rather be riding than driving a car anyway, no matter what, are usually ignoring what's "sensible" and are my kind of people.

magley64 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) So who cares about the environmental impact of their motorcycle?I break even between tires and fuel economy(actually i come out a little ahead over my daily 00 caddy sts, and I ride a Honda, so no need to screw with the valves), but I save an assload on the shrink, and antidepressants I would need if not for the therapeutic effects of my motorcycle.

Gump Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 The bike had a CAT but something about some certain harmful emmissions that cars didn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 The newest US and Euro EPA regs for motorcycles will probably close the gap on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh1234 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 People per scquare foot of roads... Motorcycles win out every time. Motorcycles are much better than cars for moving traffic through a congested area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 They didn't say that cars are better. They just said that motorcycles are NOT better than cars. "At best, it's a wash."All the emissions regulations on cars are going to start hitting bikes too, then bikes will be better again. Of course the emissions gear will make then heavier, slower and worse MPG than before - but they will sh*t grass and fluffy bunnies out the tailpipe.
