What if it's stolen? Would you like to get it back?
Police impound yards are so full of unclaimed and unidentified bikes that they hold auctions to make room for more.
A manufacturer-embedded RFID deep inside the frame would be tough if not impossible to remove without destroying the frame, unlike serial numbers or registration stickers, and would allow LEO's to return far more of them to their rightful owners. It's about the only feasible application I can see as a passive yet permanent tag won't do a thing for theft prevention.
