The 470mpg motorcycle was just a modded 125cc dirtbike (stroked, higher gearing, lowered, etc.) with Vetter's fairing. It wasn't anything proprietary to Honda like the EV1 was to GM. If it did get crushed, it still is a shame.
Charly Perethian's "Rifle," which is very similar to Matsuzawa's "Spud," is on display at the Smithsonian Museum of National History. It is very much in the public eye.
Vetter's new fairing looks cool. I wonder if he is going to cover up the side gaps. I hope he modifies the gearing to take advantage of the fairing, though.
