Motorcycles are fairly fuel efficient, and have lower CO2 output, but
they have terribly polluting output. Apparently, there hasn't been a
lot of work on the part of motorcycle builders to reduce emissions the
way they have on cars.

There was an interesting Mythbusters where they went over this stuff
in some detail.
