When something breaks, you buy a repair part, instead of needing to plug your bike into a computer and read the codes or take it to a dealer.

I can totally see the benefits of that actually. I like the idea of having a bike with no electronics and very simple mechanical systems, so it's robust and easy to maintain... and will continue functioning when China decides to EMP us!

My point was that, it seems they would make
more money if they made an option to buy the FI version. Kinda like how Honda provide the option of buying the CBR250R
with or without ABS. They cover a bigger market that way: the provide for the people who want a cheaper bike
and the people who want a better/more-advanced bike.
