Trying to get a grasp on what the most popular bikes are in the amateur scene. In order to test viability of the product, and raise funds for future production (secure funding) we need to sell. Since we have limited funds available this means we can only produce a certain number of product for a limited amount of models. We're still about 8-12 months out but early research will help future plans, So help us out! Tell us what you ride!
Curious? I'm sure you are. We have created a product to combat the problem every rider hates to deal with. Air filters. In particular, the pain in the butt it is the change them. Our system will take away the burden of changing your air filter, giving more time for you to rest between motos, or finish that beer before it gets warm. Our air filters will have the ability to be changed in 5 seconds or less, easy enough your daughter can do it for you. No joke, the system is that fast! If this doesn't peak your rev limiter then you're probably a pro who doesn't fiddle with the filter, for the rest of you this should raise your pants a little.

Unless your product will wash and re-oil the filter for me, what exactly are we talking about here? saving 30 seconds taking it off or putting it on? If thats the only benefit, I don't see the appeal. I have an extra minute to deal with a filter, and so do most people. I am aware that there are "problem childs" out there, and maybe those specific owners might be more interested.
Incase you are unaware, theres a company out there whos product does not only what yours promises to do, but offers a host of other benefits as well. Their products are very high quality, and very well recieved, and they have fitments for litterally every mainstream dirtbike out there.
To be honest, you seem like an "outsider", without any real intimate knowledge of this industry. Had you been testing your designs on the race track or at popular riding areas, and getting stuck into the scene, you wouldn't be here asking such an elementary question. You'd already know the answer. Paid your dues so to speak.
Plenty of great names and companies have been built on the folley of one part or one machine. But, at the top of the list in the hierchy of the motocross aftermarket are men of humble beginnings and an undeniable passion for the sport. Not idea men with marketing budgets and investors.
Oem comes in a box with bolt, cage and filter for $20 it's square.
Open the side of the air box and slide the cage into a groove and that's it. No putting the filter on the cage, no trying to put the bolt in just slide the whole thing out.
And if you are going to select limited models look at models like the yz125 and yz250. 2 bikes with many years models and have the same air filter. I'm sure other bikes share the same part over multiple models and years.

But this isn't the place to ask
Product doesn't sound like it's solving a problem I have, installing em is the easy part! I's the cleaning and oiling that effin sucks.
P.s. My twin air's work perfect.
Have 5 to 10 filters, clean and oil them all at once with gloves on. Have extra gloves and sandwich bags for when you switch them out. When they are all dirty again, clean them all at once!
Those of us who only have one or two air filters spend a lot of time doing this.
Here is a game changer:
Create a disposable filter that fits correctly, keeps the dirt out, and only costs $2. I will spend $50 - $100 a year to not have to clean/oil another air filter ever.
But I still think its to hard to say what bikes are most popular. The new model sales numbers are constantly changing, then add in the resale market and your numbers are going to be just slightly askew to say the least
