well, I think that is the crux of it. motorcycles are inherently "unstable", down force cannot be applied directly over the traction points in a lean. If you cannot fairly completely cancel out sideways aerodynamic forces then it only gets more unstable and requires more skill to operate.
reading this, the 3 wheeled velomobiles appear to be much better in crosswinds:
Streamliners vs Velomobiles | Recumbent Aerodynamics Blog, and it seems worth the additional rolling resistance of a 3rd wheel in that case.
There are two wheeled streamliners, and the drivers keep them upright with mad skills. So like hypermiling, that is an option too.
