Question 7643

What can be affected if a motorcycle's fairing is changed?

  1. Its aerodynamics and fuel consumption.
  2. The vehicle's visibility.
  3. Only its appearance.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Its aerodynamics and fuel consumption.

The fairing is the outer shell covering the front of many motorcycles, like the red one in the image. Its shape is designed to help that motorcycle cut through the air with little resistance. Replacing or modifying it changes air resistance and, with it, fuel consumption. That is why it affects more than just appearance.
