It's too bad they don't make those 250s FI though. That would help with your efficiency and power on those altitude changes. Curious now, what is the smallest FI motorcycle engine out there?
The Europe version of the new Ninja 250 is fuel injected. One member of ninja250.org actually converted his older gen Ninja 250 to fuel injection by purchased the TBI setup from European bike on ebay.uk, a suzuki dual sport dirtbike's fuel pump, and a megasquirt ecu. Pretty cool project, but too expensive of a conversion to be worth it for me. Tinkering with carbs isn't all that painful.

Europe gets all the fun stuff.
