The Vetter Streamliner was a feet forwards motorcycle made by Craig Vetter in 1980–1981 to demonstrate high fuel economy with an aerodynamic fairing. ==Design== Vetter had been creating his Vetter "Windjammer" fairings for some years before the Streamliner was designed, and created the Craig Vetter Fuel Economy Challenge to heighten interest in aerodynamic-conscious design. Vetter's objective was to surpass the economy of the 1980 mileage contest winner, a conventional Harley-Davidson with tall gearing.〔 The Streamliner was built around a Kawasaki KZ250 custom touring bike,〔〔 with foot controls moved to the front. In contest conditions the machine achieved 〔 (125 mpg in best-case conditions〔), versus the manufacturer's claimed for the original, unfaired model.〔 Vetter now considers more than 8–10 hp overpowered, and has said that selecting an engine with the appropriate power output is "critical" for mileage contests.〔〔
