There has already been a bill sponsored in the senate to put mandatory restrictions on motorcycles sold in the United States. Stuff like this, cool as it might be, is exactly the kind of thing that will force the issue.
Umm... what?

The googles does not return any results regarding this... just information regarding which states have repealed helmet laws, and which direction California is trending regarding loud pipes.

We're not going to get into an involved discussion regarding legislation.

Wouldn't the fact that this is a track only bike exempt it from any rules about road bikes?
I think people are forgetting this is NOT a road bike.

Sorry, I didn't catch that part of the discussion.

This discussion needs to be about bikes, not politics, and I only brought it up in the context of talking about bikes. BTW, don't believe everything you read...

There was a real bill for this at one time, similar to this, but information on it is sketchy since it never made it out of committee.

As for the looks of the bike, well, I've seen worse.
