Hmmmmm....
Looks like the path to the end of using "racing" motorcycles for recreational use. I do hate the EPA ... and CARB.

So they are planning to do away with the red sticker program, does that mean all current red sticker bikes will be given green stickers and competition bikes will be hard to get in future? Maybe will force factories to make the CRF, YZF, etc... to be emissions compliant and able to register for road use...

But, at this point, your guess is as good as mine. Sure would be nice if they eliminated red sticker altogether. |

I just edited Bruce's title; the attached study is quite interesting.

My take from it was once the red sticker program sunsets, those bikes would green sticker like they did with ATVs. Yay for current red sticker owners.
However... And this is a big however... My interpretation on this is there is going to be a major crackdown on new bikes being able to be sold and registered in CA if they don't meet the new emissions standards. Brands like KTM and Beta have kind of stepped up and moving forward are only going to offer 4-stroke bikes that meet road legal emissions standards which far exceeds those requirements of green sticker emissions. If a bike doesn't meet the new standard, I got the impression it would not be allowed for sale in CA. It looks like they're going to tighten up the requirements for "competition only" bikes and I'm sure there's probably going to be a requirement to show your involvement in racing to be able to purchase and keep the bike in CA.

I contacted Cassie Lopina at CARB to clarify how the red sticker program would end and this was her response that she sent to me yesterday:
