to the airbox (plenum) are also correct.  Bikes and cars have differing
emissions control requirements and therefore different systems.  VERY
different systems.  You could both stand to stop arguing and do some
research on the other's points before cluttering up the list with flame
wars.

My Zephyr makes 80 bhp at the rear wheel on an eddy
current dyno, with 615cc of displacement.  That puts
it not too far off of 150 bhp per liter at the crank.=20
I just got 52 mpg on a 130-mile trip to LA.  With carbs.
