Thinking outside the box...Good for you. I too have been following Craig Vetter and his search for a practical motorcycle that will meet his challenge. 70mph, up to 30mph head wind, carry 4 bags of groceries and still get 100MPG! The Challenge has been set...so let's get to it! Craig Vetter dot com, see you there. :{)

Honda saw this, copied it and created the DN-01

My guess is that your MPG went up as you removed some frontal exposure to the wind. I've been following Craig Vetter and his aerodynamic bike for a while and met him in Ohio. I'm going to build an enclosed feet forward bike with heat and air using the CX500 bike as a base for the build. Seeing how they get over 50 MPG in stock form, aerodynamics can increase that substantially. The cx500 engine is one sweet powerplant. Very reliable and easy to work on.
Nice bike.

Most die hard old schoolers will hate what you did. I commend you. Thinking out of the box, you made a ride that is more comfortable, more stable and way cool. I run into meat heads all the time who hate the idea of change even if it is for the good.
Motorcycles will have to change if they are to be one of the answers to our ever increasing gasoline costs. Enclosed bikes with heat and air, getting over 100 mpg while having superbike performance.
Anyone who hates this is just stuck in old.
