I love how designers of the past imagined the designs of the future. The racer dustbin fairings of yesteryear seemed to me a glimpse of their view of the future. The fairings also increased the speed of the motorcycle so it was definitely a graceful marriage of form and function.
Apparently you can still buy these retro-vintage motorcycle fairings today at Airtech-Streamlining.com . I like the Gilera 125, and the MV Agusta. Though, nothing compares to Evan's magnificent hand-beaten aluminium fairing.
