Ok Folks, I realize money is tight, but lets put a few things in perspective.
1) You will not find a cheaper or easier 10%+ gain in HP (actually 14% on a 2012 GasGas 300 on GasGas's own dyno). People pay a lot more than $700 for porting work that leaves their cylinder irreparable and still won't make those types of performance gains. And the list goes on...pipes, reeds, carb kits etc. even combined a lot of times those mods won't afford you those type of gains and cost more.
2) Depending on riding habits a 30% gain in fuel economy will more than offset your initial costs of the SmartCarb and will soon pay for itself at the pump.
3) The SmartCarb can be removed and reinstalled on your new steed.
4) Performance gains, fuel economy gains and an emissions reduction, I challenge you to name one other product that can do the same thing. And I think you will quickly find that $775.00 is a bargain.
Nevertheless it is our goal to make them available to the masses on a wide scale so we are working to make them cheaper while retaining quality to more satisfy all parties and follow the scope of our vision. However to make a call on the value of the SmartCarb is a little premature don't you think? I look at it like the difference between a Rolex and a Timex; they both will tell the time but only one is a value added product that is worth more than the sum of it's parts.
