I, for one, would like a wide dustbin fairing.

Air tech has narrow ones that, though they may be period correct for vintage racing, are not necessarily what an everyday rider would want for big MPG numbers, or wind protection outside of a full tuck on a skinny 125.

Redyaris, you pick some tough challenges. You teach us alot about bike building and provide good discussion on engine tuning larger engines for MPG.

Seems that an advanced design engine with variable valve train, atkinson on demand and displacement on demand and advanced spark and fuel management systems and wide or dual ratio transmissions would be a large contributor to your goal.

Yousta be the bike guys got all the high tech, now it's the car guys. Even in B segment cars!
