Yeah, but often they will happily hook you up with their favorite dealer or someone they know trying to unload an old bike. I have yet to see a mensa member say "oh, you did not pass the IQ test, but I think it is cool that you want to go in so here are some things that will get you going".
And I've yet to hear a biker say "oh, you did not pass your motorcycle driving test, but I think it's cool so here's my custom bike for you to take for a spin."
Qualifications are qualifications. The snobbish part is treating those differently simply because we're talking about Mensa here. One does have to perform certain tasks or achieve certain levels of certification to become a member of either.
Ironically, I'd challenge most Mensa members to see if they qualify to drive a motorcycle. Then perhaps we can talk about snobbery as they amaze us with mathematical wizardry but cannot seem to grasp the simple physics behind two wheels.
