Default Smog bottle??

I was at the Daytona show at the speedway on Friday. A local Suzuki shop told me the event was open to the public friday. Turns out in truth that saturday was kickoff.
The Kawasaki tent was ribboned off but I could see the new 250 pretty well. Is there a pollution/fuel vapor/smog bottle by the front of the engine about the same height as the Radiator hoses on the new bikes? Not sure which side or if it's a Cal. model only- it's not on my 06. I choked and didn't get a picture. I can get back before they leave to take one unless it's no biggie.

When the term California spec. is used it is referring to the bike can be licensed in the state of California. Without the bottle it cannot. So if your bike as the bottle it is a “California” model.
