The H.O has a "40 mm carb" and the EFI has a "39mm throttle body". The H.O is rated at 34.5 hp while the EFI is 36hp. The motor itself are the exact same.

Both 499cc. 4-5% more power with EFI. Actually it's a little better than some "performance" mods. Like a pipe with no other mods, that only gives you 1 extra HP depsite the outrageous claims they make about them. Better mileage with EFI too because it's more efficient.
