    Their final motorcycle in that episode was a modern one with all the available emissions-control technology. Even with their drag-reducing bubble, it was STILL worse than the average modern car for every pollutant but CO2.

    Thanks Monty - I actually either fell asleep or got engrossed in another show and missed the end of their episode.

    Monty; problem is that it was a 250cc bike with all available/required emissions-control technology for 250cc bike. EPA regulations exclude bikes under 286cc; the 250cc bike produces x10 more pollution then 600/650/800/1000cc bike.
