How many streamlined roadgoing motorcycles are there?

In a group discussion with some other motorcycle hypermiling enthusiasts the subject of how many fully streamlined motorcycles are actually on public roads. I decided to start a list of the ones I am aware of and with the help of this forum to identify others that I don't know about. I'm only including 2-wheeled motorcycles for now but we can start another list for those.

the list so far:
North America:
1. Craig Vetter, Honda Helix 250cc streamliner(*)
2. Fred Hayes, Hayes Diesel *
3. Alan Smith, Kawasaki Ninja 250cc *
4. Ron Johnston, Honda Ascot 500cc *, Canada
5. Vic Valdes, Kawasaki Ninja 250cc *
6. Ben Schloop, Yamaha 185cc *
7. Terry Hershner, Zero Electric *

Almost fully streamlined
8. Kraig Schultz, electric *
9. Virginia Tech Ninja 250cc *
10. Jeff Meskey , Ninja 250cc *
Europe:
11. Allert Honda 125 *, Holland
12. Janvos Suzuki Bergmann 650cc *, Belgium
13. Evomoto Honda 125cc *, Germany
14. Project 100, Honda 90cc *, GB

If you know of others please let me know and I'll add it to the list.
thank you, L&S
