Hi

I would also suspect it is hideously unaerodynamic as well.

Front end will act like a parachute, rear end could be far better and zero effort to fair in the rider.

All the best

Personally i think the new ZX-10R is way uglier.

The arse end of the new 'busa is far, far, worse. It is one uuuugleeee motorsickle. They have carefully positioned it in the advertising pictures so you can't see it.

Enclosed front wheels are the way forwards. After that you'd need a fully enclosed cockpit.

Neither are allowed in GP or Superbike racing so we aren't likely to see them any time soon.

It is an exercise designed to force you to rethink the motorbike. Not intended as a serious roadgoing project. Besides, as mentioned upthread, the messy aspect of a mounted rider will send all that styling to hell. Good old design; form over function wins again.
