Enter the recumbent motorcycle like the one Allert Jacobs built
214 mpg with DIY aerodynamic fairings on a Honda 125cc motorbike
Or Wolfgang Bauer's EvoMoto

Albert built one with a very low seat height which I am also striving towards. My next step will be reducing the seat height which is will be a very large step towards removing the side air "problem".
The easiest most comfortable way is to add a car seat. (pic below)
Peter: I admire the low seat height in the Honda 90. Might be a side project if I can find one in good condition. Or might be a better idea to take a recumbent bike, add a motor, and fully enclose it. Unfortunately not fast enough (65mph) to use on the hwy.
