$5 or $350 is a big deal to me, i can do a LOT of addtl mods on a China bike for that 345 dollar difference. And like pete said,my confidence level in "as absolutely cheap as possible" china produced EFI systems and all their relatively complex components is not real high,i bought a motorcycle to ride , not push down the side of the road lol.


That said, no one would be happier than me to see them pull off a EFI Hawk at near the current price point and it be found reliable.
Just add s carb worst case and tweak the CDI wires
Only real good or better thing is the USD forks compared to the twigs on the current model

PitsterPro has loads of EFI issue and that’s a cheap system too
Delphi isn’t bad not perfect but work good enough but it won’t cone on this bike
Not many bikes in China are EFI for a reason
Only the bigger real brands and not anyone from an orphan factory like the china bikes often sold in the USA
