Interesting to read that a dyno is required for emissions testing..how are your four wheelers tested in the Colonies?
Here in the UK and I believe our Euro cousins all emission testing is done statically with a sniffer probe at the tail pipe, then dependent on fuel type it's repeated at various set point revs..and if it's in the correct range it's a pass on emissions for that part of the annual test.
All equipment used is the relavant government agencies approved stuff.
Here in the UK all new vehicles sold have annual inspections (called MOT's in the UK) on their third birthday from registration.
All UK motorcycles have been exempt from emissions testing BUT it's to start soon maybe this year with the coming of the EU5 changes for bikes so that would mean testing would not be until the bikes third year from registration.

In addition to my comments above all motorcycles sold in the EU markets including the UK, ECU's must be encrypted for EU5 changes, and ECU's must be tamper proof via security measures attaching them to the bike...I can confirm this as my EU4 Kawasaki z9rs has its ECU caged via rivets that need to be drilled in order to gain access, the US market models ECU is by contrast held in place with a simple rubber holster..
Sign of the times it seems...
