make the bike look real cool and fast.... and warp the time space continum.

But they are connected to the air intake, they are on the side of the fairings as well, The tubes arent as annoying as you would think though...

ZXR's were the first bikes with 'RAM AIR' except the only ones that actualy worked were on the race bikes way back in 88(the road going versions only had it for show) , i remember when they first came out, i had to have one(and eventualy i did)......looking a bit dated now tho. still big ups to kawasaki for being the pioners

I think you'll find the whole "ram air" thing goes back to two stroke Suzuki's of the early seventies...

But I never recal talk of it being anything major back then, even now it isnt that great, you gotta be moving to gain the extra presure in the airbox.

anyway, I though the first production bike with ram air was the Kawasaki's ZX-11 in the early 90's?
