"Suzuki should invest in their own wind tunnel. A lot of their fairing designs are just for looks and do little for air flow. Of course this does create a big market for aftermarket designs and the economy."

Or they could just lease some time from a company that already has a wind tunnel. When we did the Lockheed tour they told us that a lot of companies use their wind tunnels to test things, including NASCAR who bring in the cars from the races after they are finished and test them just to make sure nobody "cheated" on the race by changing the airflow characteristics beyond whatever NASCAR has set for them.
