I own four motorcycles with carburetors. However, I am eager to enter the 21st century, and get an engine with EFI. I like single cylinder motorcycles with small displacement engines, but I don't see how a bike this large can make enough power and get decent fuel economy without EFI.
I appreciate what you're saying, but it has been proven several times that a carb can make more power than EFI. That said, it can't be as efficient across the board, nor can it make changes on the fly.
