Right, the big difference is in the aerodynamics. The prone position lowers the overall height of the full fairing. The modern bikes are semi-recumbent and the rider's head is exposed. Check the dimensions of the Yamaha Rifle body shell. For more detailed info you could contact Craig Vetter and Charly Perethian by e-mail. Craig has been very gracious in responding to my e-mails over the years.
