MOTM - Sep '18, Feb '16
I have spent many many eavnings researching aerodynamics. What I learned is to take all the fairings off and run the motorcycle in a class that does not use them. The money spent to build paint and mount the fairings on a motorcycle that is only going 125 mph is better spent on engine development. I say that as a joke . But all jokes have there basis in reality.

Each speed has its own aerodynamic sweet spot. So somthing that goes 200 might not work at 100 and it might not work at 300.

The subject is very very complex. And to make it even more confusing the real world of 300 mph motorcycles is totally unexplored .

For me I have to settle for the shape of the 250 ninja. I have done obvious things to smooth out the airflow. But I must look like a 250 ninja.


If you don't mind .
We should take this discussion to the Project X thread . This has gotten away from the Worldwide bearing conversation.
