One poster mentioned he wouldn't have anything but a fuel-injected bike?
Why?

I'm assuming no choke control?

I'm assuming that the technology involves something like an electric fuel
pump, perhaps an accumulator, a fuel manifold held at approximately constant
pressure, and electrically-actuated fuel injectors?  All controlled by a
computer thingie?  Or is it a cruder system?

Thanks for all.

I did find this page:

My question was just whether bike fuel injection systems were typically
something simpler than a car.  Looks roughly the same to me.

So, when I was in the Suzuki dealership and turned the key on the GSX650F, I
think that WAS the fuel pump.

There are, apparently, a LOT of issues......in your mind.
And I'm beginning to think, little else to get in the way.

There are two types of electric fuel pump. One is an electromagnetic
solenoid type that is attached to the frame. It goes click-click-click
until it builds up pressure.

The other type of pump is the submerged rotary pump that goes "whee"
while it's pumping.

This was the "whee" type.

Interesting.
