If they think it's going to turn into a high speed chase, they're less likely to bother. Protocol is to drop pursuit if giving chase will only make the situation more dangerous. Basically, it would turn a single joyrider (that will eventually slow down) into an ongoing, frantic movement of a single rider and a couple tons of car trying to keep up with him. If the joyrider crashes, especially on the highway, he's likely to be the only casualty.
With that said, I would not attempt this on a ninjette. A cop can keep up with you. If he's got a keen eye and ear for motorcycles, he will know you're riding two wheeled lawnmower. One didn't hesitate to come after me when I was going 95mph.
