  Efficient in terms of miles per gallon or liters/100km, sure, but unfortunately they are also heavier polluters. I obviously don’t want to give mine up, but the pollution means I would switch to electric as soon as it meets my needs and is affordable.

  I like bikes in general, but motorbikes wouldn’t be half as popular if they weren’t marketed the way they are.
