You should be in marketing All joking aside that's probably the appeal to some muppets.
Very true.: I have a brake guard on my (mainly) trackbike, and due to my occasionally "overly enthusiastic" riding it serves a purpose.
But I see loads of road bikes with them these days, and even with matching ones on the clutch lever (still can't work that one out.?? )

they stop you from bashing your knuckles on wing mirrors
re : wings/winglets I cant see how the would be helpful except as Duke says you are doing 200mph also I cant see them working when the bike is leaned over as surely downforce at that angle would only push the front wide unless the wing changed angle
They must work and anyhing above 80/90 I bet there creating down force. There are far more dangerous things being put on bikes. Last year I saw a hayabusa every bolt was replaced with a sharp point as big as a finger nail this also included the bar ends which were massive sharp points. He had carried this theme all over the bike. I would not like to get hit by that bike it looked cack and dangerous
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.
