Even so with equal riders the carb bikes will run away from the EFI bikes, stock against stock, not by much, but they will.
I suspect that is probably true...but I also suspect that once the aftermarket and/or Harley catches up and people start really getting into the right combinations of port sizes, fuel pressure regulation, maps, etc. that a well sorted out EFI bike will outrun a well sorted out carb bike. The carb will always be limited by the fact that it is a mechanical devce and operates very simply and one-dimensionally. Simplicity is why lots of people love carbs but that simplicity is also it's limiting factor.

Good points Hippo about the V twins and their limitations, I was maybe thinking to much about EFI in general or in automotive applications.

Regardless, my EFI is so far, so good but the bike isn't and probably won't be heavily moddified....just stage 1.
