The problem with that is economics. Bringing an old car up to modern emission standards cost more than the car is worth.

Euro 5 emissions / Classic looks / $5800 (in the USA)



Bendita Macchina appear to take a modern bike, make it look old-ish, and remove all the emission equipment. Doesn't do much for air quality.
