Funny enough when I used to own a motorcycle we researched the aerodynamics of them, they're much worse than a car's and you wouldn't think it.
Check this out: http://www.bgsoflex.com/airdragchart.html
Motorcycle's range from 0.50Cd to 1.00Cd !

1st Gen xB was 0.35Cd I believe.

The 2008 xB is 0.32Cd I believe.

Yeah My dealer was laughing pretty hard with me too!!!!!
What? He wouldn't replace your splash guards after that? What a jerk... it's clearly a manufacturing issue as illustrated by the picture!
