Bike carbs v Webers

[garyc]

It seems like bike carbs are the latest fad, but has anyone seen any back to back dyno plots of a properlt set up of webers v properly set up bike carbs? If so are there any on the net to view?? or would you like to post them up here if you have any?

havnt seen anything to prove but i have heard bike carbs are miles better. They rev quicker/more responsive! Been told by a few people bike carbs are the best now.

I still like the sound of webbers the look of webbers and the old skoolness of webbers. But bike carbs are the way forward from what i have heard they are a bit more responsive and more relaible. But you will get the argument that a well set up pair of webbers is just the same??? personall preference says it all

bike carbs wen set up properly give better mpg

i've heard they're both bout the same but bike carbs r loads cheaper to buy! plus bike carbs do look really cool!

No benefit in bike carbs imo.

Cost is same as webers after having to have a filter plate, inlet etc custom made.

Bike carbs are harder to tune IIRC?

t40s for me..

[garyc]

Good answers so far, but anyone got any evidence????

[Adam]

Doubt you'll find evidence tbh.

The engines would have to be identical mileage/condition, same mods, and RR'd on the same day, same temperature, same rolling road etc.

no hard evidence bar prehaps getting a comparrison of a SU carbed engine and a T40'd equiv. as the bike carbs operate on a similar principle to the SU's
