Do those folks still drive cars with carbs? I doubt it.

Early FI on bikes had it's issues. For the most part, those problems have been solved. With that said, I love my FI bike even though it has one of the earlier systems that had a few problems. Mine has performed great over the past 7 years and 64k miles.

Only vehicles that carbs still belong on are 60's muscle cars.

I would never own another carbed bike.

Most folks here like FI. I went with the CARB due to the fact that I understand them and know how to work on them. Just what I like. Nothing wrong with FI at all.

i hear it too but i let it go in one ear and out the other.... the tuning capabilities with injection is incredible.... and the technoligy is here now for the scoots.... wouldnt want a carb now.... well we havent discussed how big we can build untill the injector cannot supply the volume needed... but im sure the are pumps and bigger nozzled injectors out there somewhere... it seems we have'nt had a need for more fuel with the normal street builds....
