  • Patent number: 7568540
    Abstract: A supercharged motorcycle (10) configured for mounted operation by a rider (R) is disclosed. The supercharged motorcycle (10) broadly includes a motorcycle (12) and an air induction system (14) configured to deliver compressed induction fluid to the intake manifold (48) of the motorcycle's engine (18). The air induction system (14) broadly includes an air intake assembly (62) for receiving ambient air and delivering it downstream, a supercharger (64) in downstream communication with the air intake assembly (62) for compressing the air, an air delivery assembly (66) for delivering the compressed air to the engine (18), and a drive assembly (68) for powering the supercharger (64) off of the drive train (44). The entire air induction system (14) is positioned entirely outside of the leg-receiving areas (ALR) defined by the motorcycle (12) so as to not engage the rider's legs (L) and feet (F), when the rider (R) is mounted on the seat (34) in the normal operating position.
