I really like the idea of airflow on my crown jewels but will my bum look big on this?
Well I thought it worth a try and trimmed down a tad!
White Motorcycle Concepts has done some design-sheet gymnastics to make the whole thing work....
.........built to slash aerodynamic drag by taking the radical step of tunneling a giant hole through the middle of it. The target speed is 250 mph (402 km/h), and the huge Venturi tunnel reduces drag by an astonishing 69 percent compared against "the world leading motorcycle.
...WMC founder and chief rider Rob White thanks to a rather extreme riding position places his torso nearly horizontal. Nothing obstructs the tunnel, so air is free to go through, and the result is a drag coefficient of 0.118. That's an absolutely tiny figure, and it was recorded with White on board, in his leathers.

"Big hole" land speed electric motorcycle hits the track for first tests
There's no bike on earth remotely like the bizarre WMC250EV, an electric land speed racer built to slash aerodynamic drag by taking the radical step of tunneling a giant hole through the middle of it. The target speed is 250 mph (402 km/h), and its creators say its huge Venturi tunnel reduces drag…
