2010... the year of EFI?

Look! What's that?

A YZ450F...

Anything special?
"...the radically all-new pre-production 2010 YZ450F—which features EFI, a forward-tilted engine and an all-new chassis and bodywork.."

WHAT? Did I see EFI?????

Aren't they a bit late? As of MX we have Aprilia, Suzuki and Kawasaki with EFI bikes, as of endurobikes we have got Husaberg, Husqvarna, Aprilia, Sherco, BMW and as of dual purpose I see KTM, BMW and WR250R. Forgotten anything important?

Just that Honda is there, too. The 2009 CRF450R is/was EFI as well.

Yamaha also has Bubba this year too. They darn well better have a redesigned
modernized bike to keep him happy and winning races.

Yep, carbs went the way of the Dodo Bird in the early 1990's. Soon their only refuge will be chain saws and weed wackers (for awhile, anyway). But (and I'm NOT being sarcastic) the air really is cleaner. The age of Metal has given way to the age of Silicon. Brave new world.
