I would prefer to remove the line about reducing drag. As far as I know, professional motorcycle racers usually don't add fairing/moulding over the driver. If it did have an impact on drag, it would be used in racing much much more. (and offhand, I've heard some quotes that it's not very useful to try to spend a lot of effort to improve aerodynamics on motorcycles... no matter how you the motorcycle is configured, aerodynamically, it's always just going to be punching a hole in the air, and there's no way to get around that. But I don't remember the source of that information). However, cabins do definitely provide convenience and safety benefits (no helmets, leathers, electric gloves, or rain suits required). --Interiot 16:26, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I would leave it for these reasons

• I don't know but suspect that motorcycle racing is constrained by rules that may prohibit additional fairing/moulding. That is the definitely the case in bicycle racing.
• Full enclosures are definitely used when setting bicycle speed records. All the top speeds are set by fully enclosed vehicles. Check out the examples on [1]

Leave it in. While it is true that the drag isn't significantly reduced, the drag experienced by the rider is, that is, on any non-enclosed bike once you get past 60mph air resistance begins to push the rider up and away from the vehicle. You can see the motorcycle article for more about this. 131.91.92.184 (talk) 16:58, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How do these vehicles stay upright when stopping at traffic lights if you can't use your feet? -Nathan Baulch 01:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That depends on the design. On some (like BMW C1)you can put down your feet down. Others (like Honda Canopy) are three wheelers so they don't have that problem. Some have "landing gear" that is extended below a certain speed. // Liftarn
