Motorcycle self-inspection
Effective August 1, 2010, motorcycles are no longer required to submit for an inspection in New Jersey and display registration decals. Registration decals will no longer be issued. Decals may be removed from license plates.
Riders should keep in mind that it is their responsibility to make sure their motorcycles are free from mechanical defects and are operating properly. Law enforcement may still cite a cyclist for equipment out of compliance or failure to make repairs.
Motorcycle owner checklist and protective equipment:
* License plate and current registration
* Valid insurance card
* Valid motorcycle driver license
* USDOT approved non-reflective helmet with four inches of reflective tape on each side
* Approved goggles or face shield if motorcycle is not equipped with an approved wind screen
Motorcycles should be examined to ensure that every component is working in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and is not bent, loose, damaged, broken, defective or out of alignment. These components include:
* Steering, suspension, and wheel alignment
* Handlebar grips that are not higher than your shoulders when you are seated on the motorcycle in normal driving position
* Horn
* Red rear light and reflector
* Stop light
* Head light
* Rear view mirror
* Exhaust system
* Tires
* Seat, hand holds, and foot rests
* Adequate brakes (all motorcycles made after 1974 require brakes on front and rear wheels)
Additional information on motorcycle safety and training is available online.

Cars will only be inspected for emissions, and only the tailpipe sniffer. No mechanical or visual inspections any longer.
Since motorcycles were never inspected for emissions in the first place there would be no point. The only thing they ever checked on mine were the lights (head, blinker, tail, brake) and to make sure you had a DOT helmet with some kind of reflective tape.
Only problem I see is that cops are gonna start handing out alot more fix-it tickets for stuff like tint (for cars) and exhausts
