Thanks for the link but it is all old info to me, I have read many of K R Coopers papers on motorcycle aerodynamics.
I always have a chuckel when people refer to the Hyabusa as having good aerodynamic's... at a Cd of over 0.6 the hyabusa is double what my Yaris at 0.3 has and its a hatchback! To those in the know most motocycles are notoriusly poor arodynamicaly. Some BMW R100 got down to Cd of 0.45 aprox.
