I'd gladly pay an extra $500-$700 more for FI...any more than that, though, and I'd have to think hard about it.

No way, for 500$ you can get a bad *** carb all set up, with efi you need to spend $300 on a controller

Default It'll happen

Honda and Yamaha have already done it in the USA, and the KLX exists elsewhere with the EFI setup. Yeah, it will be another $1K more than the carb'd version, but such is the way of the world.

OTH, carbs are simple and easy to repair, so we should be careful what we wish for, eh?

FI may be better but I prefer the simplicity of a carb for a "out there close to nowhere" vehicle.

Maybe a stock 3 gal tank, while we are making a Christmas wish list? Or 4 gal!

Would rather have $5-700 dollars in upgraded suspension than efi. Sure be nice to have some clickers to tune.
