I went for carbs when I bought my 750, 10yrs ago.
My bike suffers badly from icing as soon as the cold, damp weather sets in.
Its a pain in the neck.
Dosing the fuel with Pro.fst sorts it, but that's a pain too, particularly if it catches you unawares.
Changing carbs to Kehin FCRs apparently cures the problem .. I have a set waiting.

In short, injection is probably the way to go.
But having said that, if the icing issue can be eliminated, I would still probably choose carbs because I'm happier working on them.
And I get great fuel consumption from them ... 150 miles before the fuel light.

How are your wrists for pulling a clutch lever ? ... the std system is often heavy.
Aftermarket slave cyls help no end though.
