Thanks for posting the article Michael, I was aware of this but I haven't seen the full article until now.

I wonder how much more could have been gained by reducing the frontal area with a recumbent riding position. My own experience showed a significant improvement in everyday use from 90 mpg un-faired to 130 mpg faired . Considering the 125cc spends most of it's time below 60 mph, it's not a bad result.

The other advantage for me is the huge improvement in rider comfort which is mentioned in the article, that alone would make the modifications worthwhile.

Pete.
