City. Grandstanding at its worst.

"we are freeing ourselves from these destructive pieces of machinery"
How pathetic.
Of course first class media such as CBS News fails to explain _why_
those motorbikes (are they now dirtbikes, ATVs, motorbikes in general
or what?) were "illegal" - other than pointing out that they weren't
insured. Heck, nothing than can be done about this other than
destroying them - or can it?
And let's not miss the opportunity to tell yet another sad story of a
tragic death where a man was dragged to death by a train. For sure he
was wearing an XXL MX jersey and riding an illegal dirtbike because how
else could his clothes become caught in the train door?
Let's just keep our fingers crossed that those illegal bikes did not
contain any illegal substances, such as lead for example. Because then
the destruction site will be contaminated and become inaccessible for
public health reasons.

those motorbikes [...] were "illegal"
but which are essential for street-legality. Also liability insurance,
for chrissake. Probably loud mufflers too.
For inspiration just have a look at these clips:

Also notice how the idiot in video n°2 almost lost it despite launch control and the gazillion of other drive assistance systems that are supposed to keep you out of a Darwin award contest.
That said: I'm 100% sure illegal dirtbikes is the core problem New York
has to deal with.

Of course. The laundering of drug/prostitution/crime money provides a certain amount of tax money, so
PROFIT!
Still seems stupid to not sell the bikes. OTOH, it's NY. What do we expect?
