In fact the BMW K 1 achieved a Cd of 0.48 according to Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles by Hucho, page 515 of the 4th edition, So the Hyabusa is not "...very aerodynamic..." even by the low standards of production motorcycles. There are pictures on this web site of the BMW K 1. Look in the Aerodynamics section, motorcycle aero mods.
