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.  |
How does Europe get all the good stuff? Why wouldn't the companies standardize the engine and fuel systems for simplicity sake? Does FI really cost more than carberation?
Anyhow, it's neat to know FI is the direction they are headed on bikes, if only 3 decades late. Might as well skip the FI technology altogether though and get a head start on electric. Motorcycles already get a paltry 150mi range before refueling, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get similar range from a battery.
Now this has me thinking, is there any advantage to an all-wheel drive motorcycle?
