The decision on injection versus carb has two levels - on a logical level, modern fuel injection offers better starting, better running in all conditions and the bonus of extra fuel economy worth several extra miles per gallon.

On an emotional level, carbs win every time. Carb advocates will tell you that carbs offer proven, reliable technology that is easier to work on than injection and that carbs are infinitely rebuildable. This is all factually correct (but injection is still superior ).

I write this as a rider who gets his thrills from an S&S Super E and has no plans to adopt new-fangled injection gizmos, but even I can see that injection systems are better in every way than carbs.
