Economically friendly, how? the article states that motorcycles pollute 10x more pollutants than cars, you can bet it matters, since the overall pollution problem still comes from the number of cars on the road.
from the article:
Right now, there are no plans for the air board or the EPA to further tighten motorcycle emissions requirements because:
* Motorcycles account for such a small portion of vehicle miles traveled.
* There haven’t been enough advances in motorcycle emissions technologies to enable further pollution reduction to any significant degree.
* There are other, even bigger polluters to deal with, such as diesel trucks, construction equipment and non-emissions-compliant products from China.
California doesn’t see this as a problem with motorcycles (yet) because there’s less of them on the road than other vehicles. There’s bigger fish to fry on the environment front.
