Thanks for the pics. Over the years BMW has done some interesting stuff on conventional road bike fairings and aero dynamics, and the fuel consumption figures they get for there bikes is better than most. As I am sure you are aware they have a history of aero dynamic projects going back over 7 decades. The Japanes bikes have not payed much attention to aero with some notable exceptions, like the hyabusa. Can you think of a medium 500cc motorcycle that has a well developed aerodynamic fairing?
