....and yes, it can be useful. So much of the 'cage' should be retractable, so the vehicle could be converted between an enclosed streamliner and a mostly normal motorcycle with some fairing. I could live with this solution.

And one more thought: the expensive fairing needs some protection in case of occassional tumbles. Because they're inevitable.
