Spotted this on Reddit, in engineering porn (which is quite a good thread)

I thought this was very good.  I can even excuse the Americanisms

How does your MX bike work then?

Fuckin badly. Awful shite. Imagine how much power it'd make with a pair of lovely injectors in there. 

@MonkeyJim, now Ive watched it properly its a great video, even with their super basic carb its really interesting seeing the fuel and air behaviour. 

Still complete shite as a fueling solution, but I suppose when you accept that most people around the world are religious, then its easy to see that most cant see the wood for the trees anyways....

Its like gammons and their RGV/ LC/ KR1S that are the best bikes ever built!!

The video is good and shows how they work and is interesting to watch, but as you say its old and antiquated. Well all know the best stuff is injected, just look at drugs new injection systems......
