Title: Motorcycles not that great for the environment
Post by: Richard230 on September 30, 2011, 09:08:15 PM

According to an article by the LA Times, reporting on testing performed by the MythBusters, riding an IC motorcycle does not do the environment any big favors. However (to my mind), it would seem that pulling the IC out of motorcycles might really change this conclusion. What do you think? Here is a link to the LA Times article:

Well given that all they looked at was tailpipe, yes, without a doubt, the conclusion would be completely different with an electric bike vs an IC car.
