BDifficulty 2/5

A combustion-engine motorcycle has had its exhaust system, including the silencer, removed and now has an open exhaust. May it be ridden like this on public roads?

Correct answer

No; riding with an open exhaust without the required silencer is prohibited.

No. Article 7.2 prohibits driving with an open exhaust without the required silencer on both urban and interurban public roads. An effective system meeting noise and emission requirements must be maintained. This does not mean every exhaust replacement or modification is forbidden: the applicable approval and procedural requirements must be met. An electric motorcycle without a combustion exhaust is outside this scenario.
