Again I'm not an engineer so I don't understand why the need for the long fairing, but it's not my thing to understand, I'm perfectly happy with admiring the whole thing.
Thanks Cormanus

Aerodynamics. The cigar shape goes into the wind well, and lets the wind pass smoothly over the sides before tapering off causing little disturbance at the rear.
Doesn't do well with side wind gusts however and will roll over very quickly.

Ever see the Dust Bin GP 500 Moto Guzzi racer from the 50's?Same principal only in a road racer
