The problem with long streamlined motorcycles is you loose the ability to filter through city traffic. Filtering is what makes motorcycles so much quicker through traffic. If you have to sit in traffic with the cars you might as well be in A car with HVAC and a cup of coffee.
This is why I hardly ever commute on my BMW in Portland, OR. Taking the motorcycle is more expensive, takes longer, and is nothing but frustration creeping along in 5 mph traffic.
