I don't believe we will see streamliner bike any time soon.
Honda is just beginning to sell reasonably powered (read at least efficient engine) bikes. (NC 700)
You can bet every competitor have a thorough look on their sales.
If they don't meet sales expectations, that's an other decade wasted ...
There is so match to win on the engine already, just by tuning it less power oriented and it is pretty much free and will bother your customers much less.
Unfortunately it is one step at a time and it is based on what people actually buy.
Now you have to wonder how many of us there are out there.
Efficient bikes will eventually come from regulations but the price might be deerer.
I believe the streamliner breakthrough will come with electric bikes since they are already a revendication from their user as their right to think differently and it might add so much to their range.
