Thanks for the extra perspective Scott, its always good to get more insight into the competition.
My main point was that the higher the percentage of “super highway” running, then the aero performance would be at a premium, which is after all what this contest is about. I’m sure that even Vic would acknowledge that his fairing design is far from optimal, so his win over Alan Smith (same model bike) must be partly due to his lighter weight.
I think that your excellent result is due to two main factors –
Firstly, the pedigree of the 250 Honda, which as you say is highly fuel efficient
Secondly, your own recognition of how to minimize aero drag on a fairly stock vehicle.
Imagine if you (or Craig) had taken part with the Honda CBR250R wrapped in a fully streamlined body, then you could have given Fred a run for his money.
