Third option: Either - it doesn't truly matter.

Carburetion can be a bit of an art, unlike FI. It gives the bike a bit of character, making it less like an appliance.

Ask any older person... the cars they remember most fondly usually aren't the most reliable and trouble-free ones. They were the ones that you bonded with. These days, my car is just a transportation tool.

But FI lets you forget about how things are working, because it either works just fine or throws you an error code. And the error code is usually fixed simply by replacing something.

So carbs... elegant mechanical devices, rewarding once you understand them, but there's more to go wrong. FI... boring but reliable.
