Dustbin! 2010 Agni E1 adopts ancient aerodynamics to modern racing

For the first time since 1957, a dustbin fairing will be employed in a major motorcycle race. The 2010 Agni E1 is using a 1950s-style all-encompassing aerodynamic fairing in order to make maximum use of its limited power and range.

Update: video showing this Agni, the MotoCzysz and a couple other TT Zero bikes in action is now embedded below. The Agni is using a stock GSX-R tail, what the hell is the point of a dustbin fairing if all you’re doing is creating a huge low pressure area behind the bike?! Also, the side-mounted Agni motors require air cooling, which the fairing blocks.
