Fi has more ponies than carb, but not by much.
theoretically Fi has better fuel mapping which leads to better combustion = higher output, better FC & cleaner exhaust than carby.

taken from kawasaki malaysia official site:
Carb - Maximum power 23.4 kW @ 11,000 rpm
Fi - Maximum power 24.0 kW @ 11,000 rpm

been told by sales agent that carby top at 170km/h while Fi can reach 200km/h.
not sure if it is true, waiting for ninja owners to confirm this after they break-in their Fi ninjas.

I'm not too sure which has more power....but FI is excellent in throttle control/response.

throttle control/response is NOT equal to power/torque. If u have a powerful bike, throttle response makes hellotof difference! otherwise, (in case of 250r) i dun c any difference. Maintenance is a separate issue...
