It's specifically designed that way, to get airflow under/behind the windscreen. I thought it was something about helping the wind flow over the screen better, but my Google searches only turned up stuff about vents for rider comfort on cruisers. I'm sure someone knows the technicalities behind it. The older bikes didn't have this - it's something they've specifically added to newer bikes (as opposed to a flaw they missed fixing).
