Default RAM AIR

I'm curious to know whether or not a Ram Air system exists for the CBR family. I'm not sure if it would be a great performance help or not, but in theory it should while the bike is at speed.

Any suggestions????

I've thought about that, but even with a turbo I would want to have an external air port aiming directly into the airbox

Dude -- you don't understand how a turbo works. You'd have to go 300 mph to get enough ram air to equal 12# of boost. Ain't gonna happen. When you run a turbo you get rid of the airbox as you know it and all air is supplied via turbo.

Like Limpy said most all of the new models have ram air. The older models don't.
