Downtown Portsmouth, NH tried enforcement in 2018.

Bikers, like NH boaters, learned tricks to foil NH's quietude.
NH enforcement is lax in most ways, anyway--beginning with alcohol. DUI court cases can show serial-violations--even after drivers license revocation!
Both of Lake Winnipesaukee's infamous manslaughter (BUI-Hit-and-Run-death) boating cases resulted in legal wrist-slaps of sentencings.
Wolfeboro's several
homicides remain unsolved.
"Live Free or Die".
If you've been to Switzerland, motorcycles are so much quieter than cars, it's spooky.
Aircooled VWs are banned!
But Switzerland is a scenic locale with mountains and lakes, so their law enforcement can be expected to be more disciplined.
