Most motorcycles are actually bigtime polluters, and really only get hybrid FE because of the general low technology and historical lack of emission regulation. Ozone, or smog will get worse if motorcycles replace cleaner cars, even if they are using slightly less gas... There are cleaner bikes, but not many are willing to pay the extra just to be clean. Honda is going to have a 100% fuel-injected line by 2007, so that will be an improvement, and hopefully the rest of the industry will follow.
