Correct answer
It can reduce fuel consumption.
It can reduce consumption by lowering the aerodynamic resistance the engine must overcome. It is not a fixed saving and does not justify a posture that prevents seeing, operating the controls or maintaining control. Adapt your posture to the motorcycle and riding conditions; improved aerodynamics does not mean increasing speed or leaning excessively in bends.
