I think there are a lot better looking fairings out there.

I like the idea of the cool air duct tho, the more cold air into the air box, the better. :cool:

Not like I'm an engineer or anything but how does the "ram air" get into the engine?

I'm not an engineer but even I know it's either designed into the original bike or it can be added to any bike later with the use of "bullsh1t listing tape".

Is it just me or does it make it look like a mini moto.

Not a fan tbh, but I did notice it doesn't require a front subframe for fitment, if you smash up your bike and damage the subby (and plastics)that might make the cost a bit more justifiable.

It doesnt. One of the photos shows the end of the duct, open, just behind the forks. No way it's going to increase pressure in the air-box.

Not really a fan of the look of that fairing, however, I'm sure it would improve with the front mudguard and exhaust in place.

self supporting seat is a nice idea for the SV but the rest looks pants TBH

Its not RAM air it just directs the flow of air onto the radiator. The front fairing is just the same style as the one they do for the ZXR400 (which they have developed a ram air box for)of which they are a big supplier of bits for. Can't see how it would take two years to develop this from the ZXR one amd the tail section is terrible

Tail looks self supporting which is cool, could save a lot of weight. Shame it has that at the expense of looking like the bikes got a nappy on.
