  • Patent number: 11181084
    Abstract: A motorcycle intake air guide for feeding an intake air volumetric flow to a motorcycle internal combustion engine includes an unfiltered-air channel, a filtered-air channel, and an air filter therebetween. An intake air guide valve provided in the unfiltered-air channel is configured to change a cross-section of the unfiltered-air channel cross-section. The unfiltered-air channel has a double-flow design at least in sections with a first unfiltered-air partial channel and a second unfiltered-air partial channel which are merged downstream of a steering head of a frame of the motorcycle in a collection region of the unfiltered-air channel. The intake air guide valve is arranged in the collection region, downstream of the first and second unfiltered-air partial channels.

  • Patent number: 10843552
    Abstract: A motorcycle intake air guide for guiding an intake air volumetric flow from a front region of a motorcycle to a motorcycle internal combustion engine includes a front air guiding duct, a rear air guiding duct arranged downstream of the front air guiding duct, and a steering head bypass region arranged between and connecting the front and the rear air guiding ducts to one another. The front and the rear air guiding ducts have a closed profile. The steering head bypass region preferably has, in a steering head cross-sectional plane which is arranged orthogonally with respect to a main flow direction of the intake air volumetric flow in the steering head bypass region, a non-closed profile for guiding the intake air volumetric flow around a steering head recess through which a steering head of the motorcycle extends. The steering head may close the non-closed profile at the steering head recess.
