I disagree with this. I find that EFI bikes may well be more responsive once the throttle is opened, but the off to on transition is still jerky with all but the rarest of fuel injected motors. By pure design, CV carbs are incredibly smooth. They operate on vacuum remember. ;)
Why doesn't Westy have carbs then.....yeah just as I thought, talking out your ass again ! :lol:

Now SG, I think the 10 is a fantastic machine, and I'm having all sorts of (wet) dreams about one as a track bike, BUT, if you commute or don't push it hard YOU DON'T DESERVE A FUCKING 10!!!!!

That's why riding REALLY slow down a straight street like Lygon St, or Chapel St, wearing thongs and a helmet is a sure fire way to get ALL the ladies! :lol:
