But a pretty big one, that you're side-stepping by quoting a special interest group from the motorcycle industry. Fuel efficiency could be better, but emissions are always worse.
Here's another source for you,
Ana-Marija Vasic and Martin Weilenmann. Comparison of Real-World Emissions from Two-Wheelers and Passenger Cars

I would wager that ab bicycle will have a better fuel efficiency, emissions, and environmental cost of production than a car, or a motorcycle.
- marknutter 10y agoI was never comparing motorcycles to bicycles. Of course bicycles are more energy efficient. But compared to cars motorcycles are far more efficient - especially electric motorcycles which are starting to hit the mainstream now.
