It is interesting that Cars Allowance Rebate System or CARS more known as Cash for Clunkers has not included motorcycles although they are really fuel efficient on the roads. Many people wonder why American government wants to move people to new gas sipping vehicles, but does not consider bikes which can easily get 40 mpg.
When Motorcycle Industry Council based in Irvine, California, went to the government with the claim about motorcycles, the lawmakers explained that it was hard to get financing for cars and trucks only, so other types of vehicles had to be excluded.
However, there might be hope for bikes too. Earlier when there were some thoughts that the program would extend beyond $3 billion, some politicians voted for motorcycles in the CARS. In particular, Senator Robert P. Casey, D-Pa. was offering to include the ones in $7,000 to $20,000 price category. Maybe later there will be another program which concerns only motorcycles...
