Wouldn't be entirely cosmetic if there were fins, they would still create more surface area and aid cooling. Possibly why they don't do it. If the cooling system is already working very well it may cool too much and cause the bike to take too long to warm up or maybe even run at a cooler than optimum operating temp. I don't know if either one would happen since I don't have a working example to compare to or look at.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
