Are there any 500/550CC FI engines?

[seamax]

I have an itch for another project but would like small displacement but I want FI.

Is the SV650 too obvious an answer for you?

[seamax]

too big. something smaller.

Ninja 400, oh yeah! 11:1 comp, 8-valve, dual piston front/single rear brakes, and fuel injected. Not much of a project but at least it's smaller than a SV and FI. 
I WIN!!!

Oops.  I was sure it was FI, you're right though.

I thought we were talking about Forced Induction o.o

MegaSquirt...that's a project in of itself though. One of these days if I'm bored enough I'll attempt it on the GS.

Interesting. I've never seen a Ninja 400. Got to do some research on cost.

250 is too small. I want something close to a 500.

That's because the Ninja 400 is a 2011 bike, and it's not being sold in the U.S.

[aaronjosephward]

aren't the 450s FI now?

I was lead to believe it was a sleeved down 650R engine, which is sold here.

Or import the Ninja 400 from Canada in 2011.
It seems the manufacturers use Canada as a North American test market for everything.

USA was offered 400 fours in the late 1980s and early 1990s. USA didn't like them at all, except for a very few unusual buyers. Bike makers gave up and pursued big bore cruisers which is what sells in the USA. 

Your average person in USA knows nothing about bikes and if are among the few who start thinking about it they go look at Harley then buy cheaper Japanese equivalent and ride it 3,000 miles in three years and then they leave the sport.  On average.

1990 FZR400 is now collectible, most were raced and trashed. There are still a handful of clean low mile GSX4000s here for around $1,000-1,500 USD, and the even rarer CB1 pops up now and then. We never got the 250 fours.
