I think I might have to admit to being thick after all as I think its a pointy -I must let you know I haven't a dual personality, my alter ego when I say 'we' is my sister below (pic taken today just before she fell off and knackered the bike and a rib )

Yes Karen, it's a pointy

And I hope your alter ego recovers quickly

It's true. And he'll be a student trying to get by on not much more

BTW anyone noticed how the yamaha motogp bikes are now sporting a curvy fairing, and not a pointy one?

Look at the aerodynamics, the lovely pointy cuts through the air where as the curvy is like a little kid folding his coat inside out above his arms when it's windy to act like a sail.

No no no no no, all those jaged edges cause more tubulence. Gracefull curves guide the air around and off the motorcycle, making curvys go faster

If the curvy hadn't been so brilliant, there never would have been a pointy. In changing it, they did so in such a way as to make production more cost effective. Newer, is not always better.
