With all due respect I don't think we're talking the same language.

Driving a motorcycle in accordance with america's traffic laws endangers no-one but the person who chooses to ride the motorcycle, who as an adult can decide to travel on such a form of vehicle.

Walking around randomly in the road with livestock and a piloting homebuilt semi truck made from seven trabants nailed together, down a dirt road with no lane markings or traffic lights is a menace to everyone regardless of what decision they have made about their own personal safety.

I really cannot make this more plain, either you get it or you're on mars.

Since a Tata Nano (which does not meet us safety requirements FOR ITS OCCUPANTS) is still safer for its occupants than the less-safe-but-yet-legal-in-the-US motorcycle, the Nano should also be legal here, because it does not pose any additional risk whatsoever to non-occupants.

Please, please prove to me that you're intelligent enough to understand this.
