On a recent 800 mile round trip from Portland OR to Couer d' Alene Idaho there is a 92 mile stretch of 60 mph highway with no chargers. I was down to 9% on the way there and had headwinds on the return, and had to limit my speed to 50 mph and got to the next charger with 7% left. There are times when extra battery capacity would be nice.

If the bikes were streamlined we'd get instant 10-50% extra range and/or higher speeds.

Or a BMW K1, or a Suzuki Hayabusa.    The Suzuki sells on its power and top speed, but other streamlined bikes mostly turn out to be sales duds. Motorcycle enthusiasts tend to be very conservative as illustrated by the popularity of "retro" and ADV-styled models.
