Take a closer look at the link. Along with the GP style fairings they have almost fully enclosed front wheel fairings.
Also these look to be smoother than most GP stylings with the deletion of vents and creases and a brief but existant continuation past the riders leg cut-out.
Vetters experimentation with the Helix hasn't come as far as expected. Using one of these enclosures (or a modified version) would allow experimentation with a wider array of bikes under the skin. Intuitively it seems that larger wheels and taller gearing than the Helix provides will allow the gains Vetter is expecting. I'm suggesting a GZ250 or the new retro-standard bike based on the GZ engine might be an improvement. These are 250cc singles with gearing that can be changed. Additionally, we need a good tuneable closed loop FI system and an overrun clutch on the rear sprocket for coasting.
