Your opinion matters none to me. I've listened to the builders' bull$hit, bought the tickets and taken the ride. The bike runs far better and the mileage is just as good with the carburetor. Don't knock it till you try it.
If it weren't for the EPA clamp down, Harley would still be producing their motorcycles with carbs and we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

o yea by the way i went and got that swing arm bag from the dealer today in brown and it looks pretty good only small downfall thing i don't like is that the brown is a lil off. i threw it on ne way and i really like it a lot, if you have the small fork bag id say this one is about another bag and a half. i can fit 2 bottles of water laying down in it plus my wallet and phone and stuff...really nice that i can tae it off when i want and the lil bracket isn't that noticeable

Horsepower levels AND fuel economy achieved today in modern bikes and cars cannot be achieved if carbed, period.

Put your money where your mouth is, I've got the carbed bike, A $50 bill and I'm willing to disprove your theory.

Do just a little bit of research on what fuel injection actually is as well as comparisons via Google is then I'll give you my email address for my paypal.

I've researched it to death. What looks good on paper doesn't always equate to the street. MX bikes with EFI are experiencing the same things as H-D. Throttle response is instantaneous but the power is relatively flat and boring. All the neat techno jargon in the brochure may get you and the rest of the sheep to line up and spend your cash but until it becomes impossible for me to get a license plate without EFI mine will have a Mikuni.
The End.
The End.

What makes your opinion different than virtually every article written on the subject, let alone every high performance car and bike on the road who power levels and fuel economy could not be achieved without EFI?

The fact that I took the time to experiment with both forms of aspiration and have drawn my conclusions based on the results is what makes my opinion different. Until you've done the same, your argument is invalid.
