A streamlined motorcycle is: a motorcycle with a fairing that goes beyond a 'full'/'dustbin' fairing,——to form an aerodynamic shell——to minimize drag. This helps attaining higher top speeds, as in the: motorcycle land-speed record, or increased energy efficiency, as in the——Craig Vetter Fuel Economy Challenge. Often they are feet forwards motorcycles or have the "rider in a prone position," rather than upright, to reduce the frontal area exposed to headwind.
