Re: Has this been considered.....?
Also active aero is illegal is nearly all classes of motorsport bet yeah if GP allowed it (don't know if there is a rule against it) i think they would have it.
F1 would have it for shaw good gains to be had see PF forum for further discussion.

Re: Has this been considered.....?
Dunno if it is a fair comparison, but according to two different dynos (years apart too) 
, my ZRX1200 has one more horsepower than my ZZR1100, and by my seat of the pants a lot more torque, BUT the ZRX is 35km/h slower due to aerodynamics I would guess. Gearing may be a factor too.

Re: Has this been considered.....?
The zxr 750 had a little one at the rear. Cant imagine it actually made any difference.

Re: Has this been considered.....?
Yeah the ZXR had one, some people call it a grab rail or pillion handle, us owners know better, it's a spoiler.

Re: Has this been considered.....?
I was just about to go and have a look for this bike......caused some serious conniptions in the bike racing scene in UnZud back in the day !
This wasn't the only 'winged' bike that hit the scene over there either....John Britten's first effort at building a bike - well before the Britten race bike we all know - used a big old Denco V-twin speedway motor and hand-laid Britten bodywork. I have some stories about this bike in the library somewhere.....got some good pictures as well, will see if I can dig them up. This thing had wings / winglets on it and some serious aerodynamic bodywork ! Think it was called the Aero ? something like that anyway.
The wings on that bike didn't work either !!

Re: Has this been considered.....?
I read an article in one magazine a few years ago, that the old 'duck-billed' Suzuki MotoGP bikes front fairing was designed to help with downforce in trying to keep the front end down. They're doing a lot better without it now though

Re: Has this been considered.....?
Basic physics and aerodynamics will show you that a spoiler would not work on a motorcycle unless it was for drag racing only. As soon as you leaned over the down force would be transfered to a force pushing you away from the corner. If one has about seven shots of Jim beam with a fine brew then stands on ones head while masterbating it will all become perfectly perfect. Cheers.
