Indeed. Well, some folks would only consider such impact and a way to decrease it if they could take bragging rights for this move. You know, even if one would go as far as replacing a V8 gas-guzzler landyacht with a motorcycle or a tricycle, probably it would involve some attempt to look "stylish" in a Vespa (the newer 4-stroke ones) for example. OTOH it's important to notice that motorcycles are tied to a less stringent emission regulation, which has already been used as an argument to point out that even a 125cc motorcycle could be worse on that matter than a 6-cylinder car of the same age.
