Default Fuel injection versus carb

Hello all.. I was at the honda/yamaha/ducati dealership the other day looking around trying to find what I like and told the saleperson I was looking at the katana 600 and he said that the engine was based on 16 year old technology and was not fuel injected and proceeded to show me yamaha yfz.. and that is was fuel injected and such. I simple asked if the technology in the katana is so bad then why has it been around for so long and continues to sell?

is there a big difference in fuel injhected and carbed motorcycles? I know is cars there is a slight difference in performance and fuel efficently.. but I love my 700 cfm holley double pumper on my camaro and would never think about switching it to fuel injection..

Oh the wife just told me I have to wait on my bike she is worried about the safety of it.. not me driving but other crazies out there...
