Sorry, poor choice of words. My knowledge about bikes is very limited, but I was told (or read somewhere) that the design of the Ninja 250 and 500 have not been updated much since their inception.

Since my CBR600F4i appears to have air intake ducts up front in the plastic, I just assumed most newer bikes have air intakes up front for a "ram air" effect. Maybe they're just fake scoops, like muscle cars in the 80's. I have no idea.

In any case, thanks for the pic of the air intake tract under the seat.
