Maybe not. According to an article by the LA Times, reporting on testing performed by the MythBusters, riding an
IC motorcycle does not do the environment any big favors. However (to my mind), it would seem that pulling the IC out of the motorcycle equation might really change this conclusion. What do you think? Here is a link to the LA Times article:
