Again bike carbs... Why they are so popular in west?

Cars have car carbs, bikes have bike carbs and there's no need to swap them

And, after all, it's 21st century now, and carbs are one of technologies we must forgot since 20th century is over

Anyway, idea about coupling 1.8 bottom with 16v head must be bad one - at least 2.0 8v bottom coupled with 16v head results in engine with enough low compression ratio that turbocharger and proper engine management must be used in order to extract some serious power [up to 300 bhp with stock internals]. Dunno about 1.8, but probably the same story. Maybe even lower CR, since 2.0 8v has higher CR because of fuel injection.
