Re:Motorcycle Fuel Consumption (Score 1)

Depends how you cut the stats. When you say "more polluting" and link to that article, you are talking about one single type of polluting - NOx emissions. Yes, it's true that motorcycle engines - in general - emit greater levels of NOx than automotive engines, basically because the space available for packaging a catalytic converter is smaller. But the CO2 emissions are much lower. CO2 emission is pretty much proportional to fuel consumption.

So while you can feel smug that your NOx emissions are low, don't kid yourself that your SUV is saving the planet...
