In fact, you can get more power in a Naturally aspirated engine with a carburetor than you can with EFI. However, with the belt tightening of emissions laws and what not, EFI is the answer. Not to mention, I'm so used to EFI on my Buick Grand National, and love the luxury of adjusting everything on the fly on a laptop .

Too bad Kawasaki wont bring the EFI Ninja 250 over to the US! Only Europe gets to have the fun . There's a discussion going on at the ninja 250 forums about why that is.... People are saying that it will further increase the price of the US version...that would make it priced closer to the 600 and people would probably just splurge the couple extra bucks and get that, and potentially eliminate the 250.
That's true, and the 250 is like their most sold bike too.
