I have never had a complaint with the KTM power plants. The chassis and suspension however, will likely never be a good fit for me. It is good that KTM is doing the R&D (through their customers as usual) on the port injection, as it will benefit other manufacturers as they develop their own injection systems.
From what I have heard the TPI versions of the bikes are a little softer on the bottom end than their carbureted counterparts. I was surprised that KTM did not provide a method to change the mapping and/or power delivery on the 2018 TPI bikes. It seems that this would be one of the benefits of fuel injection on 2T bikes. Perhaps this is something they have/will address with 2019+ MY.
