Default carb vs. fuel injected

What are people's opinions on carburated motorcycles, versus fuel injected ones?

I was enlightened that some 1990s bikes are carburated, unlike 90s cars....

Most bikes havent been fuel injected until just a few years ago, Im not sure if they are faster to have FI but all i know is that with carbs its a bit more work with tune ups and what not.

Fuel Injected is the way to go IMO. You get tons more throttle response and carbs are too much to upkeep.

Actually carbs are easier because it's all mechanical and not electronic. I think it's much easier to change jets than to tune the FI electronically. And there are plenty of carburated bikes that are just as responsive as FI bikes.

Yeah its easyer as in more simple, but you almost never would have to tune your FI. So ultimatly in the long run as long as there are no big problems for no reason FI will be a ton easyer, esspecially if you dont know your engines real great.
