Default fuel injection good or bad

[8D]hi all,
this is my first post so please bear with me if this has been asked before,
i'm in the process of looking for my first harley several people have told me to stay away from the newer fuel injected models as the injection system isnt proven and there's lots of problems with them,i find it hard to believe that h/d would put out a product that was'nt fully proven your imput would be greatly appreciated.

I would rather ride a FI bike than a Carb any day of the year. I had a carb on my Sporty before I went with FI on a 05 EG Classic, I never looked back. The Delphi FI bikes have more than proven them selves. I think most of the folks that dislike the FI just don't know how or don't want to learn how to tune them.

FUEL INJ.&nbsp\\; =&nbsp\\; Easy start ups.&nbsp\\; Great throttle response.&nbsp\\;Carbs are outdated and antique.

Fought with too many carbs (not food) over the years.&nbsp\\; FI is great.&nbsp\\; Better response and performance.

The air cooled Harley V Twin engine engine with 2 pistons flying around on a single lobe crank is outdated and antique.&nbsp\\; A carburator that I can work on with a couple of wrenches seems to be a proper fit.

Greetings,
&nbsp\\;
I'm with everybody else. This is a no-brainer. Definitely go with the fuel injection. I won't ever own a carb bike again! Only fuel injected ones for me.

Guess I have to agree. Spent a lot of money on SERT's and Dyno tuning but my Fattie never ran so good or so hot...go with EFI.
