Whilst being a tradionalist, i.e. old technology works - generally. I do see the appeal of fuel injection, which lets face it does have a number of benefits over carbs.

The detractors of fuel injection usually point out that if its broke, then it can't unsually be fixed without "workshop" tools and now days maybe even a computer. But my response to this is simple, fuel injection has been around for a long time in a mechcanical format and at least 20 odd years in an electronic format and that is a long time for a technology to mature. Not many bikes, cars or trucks break down because of the engine management "goes south". And when they do breakdown, it is usually down to a cheap easy to replace sensor, plus the engine management system reverts to "limp home mode", so you will not usually be stranded!!! (famous last words?)

One benefit that isn't mention very oftern is that there is a lot less tinkering required when riding at higher altitudes - where carbs may need to be rejeted. And for that matter lower grade fuels. Have a look at the guys who set the unassisted altitude record (bikehigh.com) - interesting reading, especially as they were on "standard" showroom bikes.

My next bike will almost certainly be fuel injected, but that may be because getting hold of a bike with carbs my soon be a thing of the passed.
