New York State Senator Liz Krueger has introduced S. 2773, a bill that seeks to ban the sale of off-highway motorcycles and ATVs by dealers or individuals within New York City and enact a fine of $1000 for the first offense and $2000 for each subsequent offense while also allowing for any dirt bike or ATV sold in the city to be impounded.

This is a press release/Action Alert from the AMA…
The AMA strongly opposes this ban. While the bill’s goal is to address illegal use of OHVs on public roads, it instead needlessly punishes law abiding residents and will do nothing to address illegal use of off-highway vehicles on city streets. Thousands of New Yorkers are avid off-road riders and should not lose their right to buy or sell their vehicles within city limits.
