Thanks. Kinda looks like 4 little carbs without float bowls doesn't it?

LOL, I was about to post that riposte but you beat me to it.

Gentlemen,

That fuel injection is one of the main reasons I bought the CB. My bikes often sit for long periods and in AZ's heat the fuel dries out and carburetors then need rebuilding. My FI bikes can sit for a year and with a good battery they start right up. I've spent tons of $ rebuilding carbs over the years especially on our dirt bikes. FI is one of the best things to happen to motorcycles.

Motorcycle.com dynoed the engine. Both the torque and HP traces were literally straight lines. The author said he couldn't have made it straighter if he'd drawn it with a ruler.

Back in the days before TC, power "curves" like that were the Holy Grail for racing because it made the riders job so much easier. For us it means we get a super smooth ride with no drama. I love this engine!
