Displacement and power restrictions, of course, tiered licensing followed by outright bans on certain sizes/styles of bikes. Never mind that far more good for all concerned would be served by educating the rest of the driving public on the presence of motorcycles and the difficulty of seeing us. But, that wouldn't allow "them" to exercise power, now would it?
Don't worry, our nanny-state friends are watching Europe intently for new ideas all the time. With Hillary being the presumptive next president amongst that set, they are already moving toward setting "universal healthcare" into motion knowing the current administration will not stop them.
It's key to remember that most of those people are of the type that are most miserable when they know that someone out there is enjoying themselves.
What are they going to do when these laws don’t solve all their perceived problems? A lot of accidents happen when an idiot buys a bike that’s too big for them. Are displacement restrictions next?

According an article I read in Superbike, In Europe, there’s an idiot who’s campaigning to have the top speed on all vehicles restricted, and for laws that forbid manufacturers from advertising performance characteristics of their products. I HOPE this is some sort of joke. I don’t want our lawmakers over here to get any bright ideas.
