when i ordered my Harley, i had the choice of EFI or carb. i ordered it with the carb and it smokes the EFI version. it is hard to believe that carbs are inferior when the carbed kawi v-twins will smoke anything in their price range.

I didn't know Harley made ATV's. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Well, if they did we know they would be overpriced, overhyped, they would handle like crap and leave a trail of parts and fluids behind them, they would be hideously loud but yet the engine wouldn't have enough power. Yet for some unknown reason the dealers wouldn't be able to keep them in stock. Go figure.

Like the old HD saying goes...."If I had to explain it ..... You wouldn't understand".

-I'm glad HARLEY DAVIDSON are over priced. Otherwise everyone would have one. (Its bad enuff all the jap bikes are copying Harleys styling ). I have more guys come up to me at stop lights on Hondas & Kawi's ....look at my Heritage Classic & say to me over the rumble "Wow. Thats what I really wanted".


P.S. Monty mines an EFI ! haahaa !!

 

...or you could save money and buy Kawi Z or a Suzuki Hayabusa type of bike and eat a HD's lunch on power and handling.

But then again I've never understood the whole HD thing despite having owned a couple myself. I'm defintely more of a bullet bike type of guy. Or was. I don't care to own either now. The days of 150+mph street bikes is long past for me.

 

yea, there are lotsa fast bikes, but where can a guy push 200mph on a bike? not anywhere around here. i have a friend that has over 120,000 miles on his harley, and there is one road king/side car that has 415,000 miles on it. when is the last time ya saw a 1913 Suzuki that still runs. i saw a harley that old in a parade not too long ago... to me that was way cooler than a turbo nitrous Hiabusa with the usual neon tribal graphics

I will sum up the efi thing for me.On the 650, If efi and carbs were the same price I would take the carbs. Only because of the way the 650 runs with the carb set up. I ride from 4000'- 10,000' all with stock from the factory jetting. I am sure not all carbed atvs run that way with (but that is there problem) If I had any other atv w/ carbs I would probably want efi. Efi probably works very well on some atvs. But I am not sure what it would do to the 650 brute other than add to the price.
