fyi, I may take a stab at a fuel injection conversion on the gs250, I have a spare set of carbs and some injectors/sensors off a cbr600rr. I would stick with the carbs but they do not like my current set up, bike runs crappy regardless of what carbs I use after intake tract mods, and I was never very good at guessing jet sizes and annoyed with removing/reinstalling carbs during that bit of trial and error.

All my bikes to date have been carbureted, and it is generally a very reliable setup, I don't ever recall being stranded because of a carburetor (well maybe twice). But I do want to see if I can do better with fuel injection, as well as having super easy tuning (just tweak the fuel delivery map) and am definitely looking forward to realtime consumption feedback to help in that regard as well.
