Don't forget, we don't have cats and older bikes are less efficient in the name of easier power delivery. I choke like hell when I'm stuck behind an older CBR for example, my VFR750 absolutely stinks (it's running fine, believe me)...so there's not much weight in a car being any worse than a bike.

True but as Andy says the total contribution to pollution from bikes is small because theyre far fewer and tend to do a lot less miles so clamping down has little effect overall. However, as we all know, there is a big political element to this subject as well....
