From how I see it, if your bike is loud enough that it is in violation of noise ordinances then you should take it to a shop and mod it if you expect to be driving around other people.
Also, if I had to guess, the reasoning for the limit for cars being higher is that past about 20(?)mph the tire noise makes up for the majority of the noise (which is proportional to weight)
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoVehicles in stock configuration can't be forced to comply with newer laws. That's why you can drive without seatbelts in a car that's old enough. Same with tire pressure monitoring and backup cameras.
- gfaster 4y agoYup, and the law applies to vehicles built after 1985. Also the law isn't new, the only thing new introduced here is automated enforcement
- hooloovoo_zoo 4y agoThey can definitely be forced to comply. In fact there's already a precedent in California for banning existing cars that emit too much smog.
