A Teeny, Tiny Honda RC213V Has Entered The Chat. Wait, It's A 500?

As any fan of MotoGP knows, if gaining the aerodynamic advantages of keeping your nose down while going fast is your goal, then winglets are most definitely your friend. But how do you feel about winglets as a design exercise, on bikes that will most likely never (or very rarely) have any reason to use them to their full aerodynamic potential?

I mean, MotoGP replica motorcycles and scooters have existed for just about as long as the series has. Even before there were formal, factory-crafted replica machines, I'm almost certain that fans were out there crafting their own. Why? Because fans get passionate about the things they love, and they create homages in whatever mediums they feel are appropriate. Sometimes it's a motorcycle, and sometimes it's a cake, and sometimes it's both. I digress.
