It is important to keep in mind that in motorcycle design the shape (and
location) of the radiator is dictated by the front wheel geometry and engine
placement. The front wheel has to have room to travel, while the engine
wants to be as far forward in the frame as possible. Curved core radiators
accommodate this the best, but are expensive as hell and are usually only
found on megabuck race bikes.
