As you said, this engine will not be highly refined so why are they screwing around with highly refined injection?

Gotta have something hightech on it so they can put a premium price on the bike. Would you buy it if they stuck with carbs?

Yes, never owned an FI bike, why should I start now?

Pretty standard I guess, buncha armchair engineers and Monday morning MotoGP stars. I could give two shits and a fuck about trivial shit like how someone else decides to build their bikes... Does it work? Is it fun? Does it do what I want it to do and look how I want it to look? Yes? Then it's good. All the other shit is just chest pounding and circle jerking...

Well, what else is there?

Fine, from now on...

You do realize that direct injection is different from typical fuel injection? Carbs are not the only other option and regular fuel injection would make more sense to me. Either way, I'm not too enamored with what I've seen so far. Factor in the likely price range and the induction system will be irrelevant.

It's just tiresome... God forbid a manufacturer try to do something other than push performance to the limit... The Diaval thread is just as retarded... Guys bitching about and shitting all over a bike that NOBODY has ridden. I mean, isn't that what its all about? This thread is just like the Diaval thread. What'd all these geniuses say when that bike was tested by the moto rags and handling was heralded as being quite good? Not a damn thing. I guess what they say is true, people are afraid of something different. I get just as annoyed when guys sit around and talk about how many broads they've banged, how fast they are, how many beers they can drink...

Well in that case.... I once drank almost 70 beers in a 36 hour period, I'm faster than most squids, and I never had sex before I met ONSSP.

2/3 of that is true...

OSP, I think there's a difference between discussing shit, and declaring something to BE shit based on xyz characteristic. I hear ya though, and it's kinda like when it always makes me

when a new bike hits the net/rags & 90% of what you hear is "OMFG look at that hideous exhaust".

At the end of the day, how a street-bike "works" boils down to whether it stirs the soul & puts a smile on the face of the rider, not whether it looks good on a spec. sheet.
