Not trying to defend the ugly bastard just getting the facts straight.
True, and today's "thumper" can be pretty refined. I just sold a 2009 Yamaha WR250X which was also FI. It was smooth on start up, idle and only buzzed a little on the highway... 55+ I notice it, not really below that. That was one of the most favorite bikes I have owned, probably on the top 5 list...
