I said remove what was already there. I didn't say anything about bikes that don't come with them stock.

What is the difference between buying a bike without one and removing one from a bike that does?

Every motorcycle on the street running an exhaust without a DOT approved stamp is already illegal...in every state

This has nothing to do with pollution and everything to do with cash for the government coffers

Explain to me where the government makes money on this? You, the driver, pay for a smog check until you pass. The payment goes to the business doing the smog check, not the gov't. A cop can't give you a smog ticket because he can't check the emissions levels.

The article was quite clear: motorcycles are used for 1% of the total mileage but emit 10% of the total pollution. It's obvious something needs to be done to make them cleaner.
