You do know that almost all modern on-road motorcycles are CARB-compliant, right? Oh, but what about those small motorcycles? https://www.transportpolicy.net/standard/us-motorcycles-emissions/ As of 2006, all Class I and II motorcycles must be compliant with few exceptions.

I don’t know where you are getting your numbers for your claims. These are some significant assertions that, even prima facie, don’t make sense.

1 person in 1 car emits less emissions than 1 person on 1 motorcycle

Even from just a thermodynamics standpoint, this assertion not only feels wrong, but is wrong. Maybe a two-stroke motorcycle could out-emit a modern SOV.
