Sure, the thing lacks refinement. The mirrors are enclosed increasing the width, the all clear panels make it a hot house in the summer, and the rear hatch is awkward. Still it will likely improve mpg by 30% or more. The best part is that the concept of a full faired motorcycle will get a much wider audience. An all weather 250cc motorcycle that gets 150 mpg for around $5000 USD may prove very attractive to commuters.
