Just your standard Keihin knock off that comes on most of these bikes. It's not a bad carburetor. Most people convert to the Minkuni for ease of tuning - specifically finding jets cheaply and easily, but you can make the PZ30 work just as well. Honestly, if you search just a little bit, you can find the pilot jets for the Keihin as well. I've seen a 30 to 60 size slow jet kit for them for 5 bucks. There is nothing magical about the Mikuni over the PZ30 otherwise.

In fact, you can get the PZ30 knock offs with an accelerator pump feature for the same price or less than the VM26 knock off. People often complain about the "dead spot" when they blip the throttle with the mikuni, and that would solve said issue. Mikuni VM carbs had the same feature as well back in the day, but I have yet to see a knock off with one.
