Abstract
An air management system for a motorcycle including a first air channel and a second air channel. The first air channel defines a first passageway extending through a body of the motorcycle, the first passageway having an inlet located on a first side of the motorcycle and an outlet located under a seat of the motorcycle. The second air channel defines a second passageway passing through the body of the motorcycle, the second passageway having an inlet located on a second side of the motorcycle and an outlet in communication with an engine air inlet. The first and second passageway inlets are relatively symmetrically disposed relative to a longitudinal axis of the motorcycle. The first air passageway delivers cooling air to a radiator that is disposed beneath the motorcycle seat, while the second air passageway delivers air to the engine air inlet. An air filter is disposed in a terminal portion of the second air channel and is oriented relatively transverse to the motorcycle axis.
