This is interesting. The carbed version of this engine on the old GZ250 gets the same mileage. I'm wondering what the advantage is to Suzuki to go FI. Hopefully this is a roll-out of FI technology applied to all new models.
What I like about this FI system is that it has an O2 sensor feedback. So many of the early FI systems didn't have this, though they ran well they didn't have the self-tuning capability that a feeback loop provides. This bodes well for development of more fuel efficient cycles - and mpg monitoring cabability.
A while back, Honda proclaimed that all new models would be FI by something like 2010, even 50cc scooters in third world markets. They were to develop a very simple system that would be reliable and easy to repair. Maybe this is in fact what we are finally beginning to see in the entire motorcycle market?
