Are you suggesting for environmental reasons? You're kidding right?

The only logical reason I can think of. Don't see any advantages of FI over a carb, save for running upside down maybe..........

Well, where I ride, EFI has a huge advantage. Here in Utah, I can be riding at 4000-5000 ft. and in a matter of minutes I am riding at 10000-12000 ft and everywhere in between. I don't want to get off and rejet every 10 minutes along my ride, so I 'll take EFI anyday.

I have to agree going from 4000 feet to 8500 in one hour tomorrow in southern Utah. Getting out of this heat at Lake Powell.

"quad" is the name of the new magazine.

here is a link to susbscribe, only link I could find


I bought mine at the grocery store off the magazine rack. I had never herd of it before either but the issue I bought say's in the upper corrner of the cover that it is the Premier issue. I liked it better than any magazine out there. Its very good and very detailed compared to others.
