Onestarr, you've been drooling over those Aprilias for far too long now, I think it's time you treated yourself. How about it?

 

thaught you guys would like that..... thats was a great save at the end when the other guy landed on him.....

 

Yeah, I though they both were in for some broken bones.

 

Brian you are right. I have looked into these bikes a while back and I love the looks of them but they were having some reliability Issues.So Ithought I would just stick with the KLX for now..But I got my eye on that new08 KTM 450 excdue out this fall! That bike looks so sweet!!! I hear the new ktm 450are going to be hard to come by. The dealer by me said, the ones he has coming in are already sold and I would have to put my name on a list.So we will have to wait and see.

 

 

The new '08 KTM's sure do look like a home run to me. I figure by the time I'm ready to trade in my '07 in a few years they'll just be getting the bugs worked out of EFI. I've jetted my last carburetor - yeah baby!

 

I love that bike so much! The 300's are pretty fun too.

 

Carburators are fun Nobrakes. Although, after I learn more on FI, that would be fun as well.

 

A well tuned carb is a thing of beauty to behold. It's just getting it to that "well tuned" state that's the hard part. EFI on the other hand uses microprocessors and a number of sensors to sense what is actually happening with the burn air/fuel ratio and modifies the mixture hundreds of times every second to always be correct for all conditions. That's the theory anyway and it works pretty darn good.

My only concern with EFI is that street legal bikes will be forever lean unless you fork over $300 for something like a PowerCommander. Whereas with a carb, you just swap a little brass to get your mixture back.

 

hmm, tell me about the FI woes for more power. 10x as much $ to get there it seems. Plus the learning curve involved.
