Hey, I'd appreciate any input from the experts out there.
I'm looking for something reasonably cheap to replace a GSX-R 250, and have found a VT250 as well as the Bandit 250 that are both within my price range. I know that the bandit does have basically the same motor as the GSX-R.
Rode the bandit a couple of days ago, and it seemed pretty good at high revs, and packed a fair bit of torque for the hills, and am now trying to see how the Honda V-Twin compares. I've always seen Honda having some fast power delivery in their cars as well as CBR's and hope there's a few people here that have ridden both of these models (89 VT and 90 Bandit) that could tell me advantages / disadvantages of one over the other.
Any input appreciated
