Pesky fruit. Maybe if I just straighten out the bananas I could get one more bag in. I agree with your vision 100% though. There is no reason not to make bikes with great aeros and the resulting large trunk. I can see this really becoming a grass roots movement if there were a ready made kit for the body work and windscreen. I will certainly build something up as soon as I can buy a ready fairing kit. There are more fuel efficient engines around now with the new Hondas but the pregen Ninjette is so plentiful in the used market it makes sense to focus on that bike's frame. And, there is a new company offering a really trick fuel injection conversion for it. Originally sold for retrofits of the millions of 50-150cc scooters in India and Asia, the company realized it was easily possible for them to double up the hardware to adapt the kit to the small two cylinder Ninja. They have been very responsive to suggestions and have been continually pushing the design forward over the last year to the point where they were able to add enough processing power to incorporate real time closed loop trim via two independent channels with wide band O2 sensors. I don't think there is any other vehicle on the road that can do that. Trimmed to your own maps that you fine tune from your lap top after logging some riding time. You can set 13.4 : 1 at full throttle for maximum power and run 16 : 1 lean burns at light throttle for the best fuel efficiency. For $600.
