I somewhat agree... I find that my carb has pretty good throttle response especially for my type of riding, and I guess that's what it comes down to. I'm not racing so I'm not looking for maximum speed I just needed a little more torque, and the simple mods I've done have gotten me that. I rarely drive on pavement so speed is not an issue.

Now if you could put a manual tranny on one of these you'd probably get a ton more of speed and low end power you need, but sometimes it's just not worth it.
