  In the US motorcycling will always be seen as a hobby first and genuine transportation second, whereas the rest of the world it's all transportation.

  Emissions my ass. The idea that the EPA gives a damn about the pollution of a tiny 125 while gigantic diesel pickups belching smoke is farcical.

  When Australian fuel started hitting USD $8.00 a gallon a few weeks ago we were told by our government to pump up our tires, remove our roof racks to reduce wind resistance and maybe buy an electric car. I just parked my station wagon and started doing almost everything on my little CB125...mail, market, medical appointments, you name it. As far as Im concerned there is no fuel crisis and no need to buy a data harvesting subscription dependant BEV. Best motoring investment I ever made.

  Think about it, a vehicle that gets twice the fuel economy of its competitors rejected for &apos;emissions&apos;...<br><br>Government &apos;efficiency&apos;.

  They don&apos;t want us driving IC bikes. The cost of E-bikes is dumb, considering what they are.

  My Honda XR150L is very similar.. It is built for farm work. I love it as a commuter and casual exploring bike, and I am 6&apos;1&quot; 240lbs. &nbsp;I will never sell it!

  We don’t care that much about motorbike emissions here in Brazil because we allow filtering. It’s 10 times faster to ride a small bike through a traffic jam than being stuck in a car. So, if it pollutes twice as much as a car, you are actually polluting 5x less.

  I have a 1979 CB 125s. &nbsp;Started a few days ago after sitting in my garage in Michigan all winter. &nbsp;Two kicks it started! &nbsp;Drive it 40 miles no problems. &nbsp;Amazing little bike. Something like 80 mpg. &nbsp;It is a blast to drive. &nbsp;I get more looks and people wanting to talk about it than my Ducati.

  I&apos;m watching this in Taguig, Philippines and out of curiosity looked it up. BRAND NEW at the Honda dealership, they&apos;re 57k pesos (less than US$1000). Here, they call it the Honda TMX125, though.
