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.

I continue to contemplate consumer behavior.I have zero confidence that I'll ever crack that mystery.
Some have described the 'Western' world as mindless automatons,wandering aimlessly in the dark,muttering incantations.
I've been to ten countries.Wherever I've been,I never felt like anybody has figured anything out.
Psychologists have said that many developed countries are inhabited only by emotional-thinking,consumers,who race from purchase to purchase,locked in an endless cycle of hedonic adaptation,flooding their dopamine receptors with every swipe of their credit card.
How you would get them out of their,now,7,000-lb SUV,and into some sustainable transportation technology is beyond me.
I'm not sure if 'styling' would be enough.
Wherever you are,just watch commercial television broadcast advertising to see inside the minds of those who'll decide the future.People obey television.
