Aerodynamics of a bug

Seat of pants stuff, but the 1303 with its round front screen does feel much more slippery than a flat screen bug.

I haven´t been over 100mph in a 1303 yet,I never owned one either,so I lack the comparison. The 1303 does seem much quieter (wind noise) than the standard bugs,so there must be an aerodynamic improvement.Maybe the front of the 1303 has some disadvantage compared to the 1200 due to the round front valance? Technically the 1303 is far better than the standard bug,no question about that.
