I ran across this today by accident - thought it was kinda cool! (Did a quick search, hope it's not a re-post!)

QuoteSuzuki chose for the fairing material BASF's Terblend® N, a high-performance glass-fibre-reinforced blend of ABS and PA from the company's specialty range of styrenic polymers.

C'mon...everyone knows that motorcycle plastics are made of Inobtainium (or alternately, Exorbitantanium)

My hunch was correct ! More reverse engineering from crashed  UFOs . Thanx for the re-fresh .Good info to know if you ever have to [ plaz-weld ] the fairing.
