Hornets V Bandits. Let's see...

[Tall Learner]

Just wanting to c wether I can spark some good discussions bout these bikes. Theres always the dedicated fans that stick 2 their guns and thats that. But is there any cold hard facts that seperates these two and makes one slightly better??

For example the 250 hornet creates a whole 1bhp more (25) than the bandit 250 (24) AT 10,000rpm, with the bandit putting out its 24 at 11,000.

Any more other facts like that would be appreciated:bleh:

Sounds like you might've mixed up kilowatts and horsepower.

Hornets are ghey because they're Hondas; Bandits are shit because they're Suzukis.

Ghey versus shit. Make your choice.

They looks better,sound better and they are hornets !! :headbang: have a ride on them both and see what they feel like .but personall haveing ridden both id go for the hornet just becuase its got that sound when you wind it up etc

[blue eyed savage]

i love my bandit and it goes well.
and it looks good.

[PirateJafa]

They both look good. They both sound good. They both perform very closely.

Flip of a coin really - it's just a case of what is the better deal at the time.

I really don't think that one is *better* than the other. :)

[blue eyed savage]

that sounds about right

[HornetBoy]

Yea price wise -as youll notice ,bandits go a fair bit cheaper than hornets usually hornets are like 5.5-6k at dealers so buying a bandit can save you alot of cash which you can use on gear or bling bits like an exhaust :2thumbsup

[blue eyed savage]

if u can ride good u can keep up with biger bikes on the bandit. a hornerboy

[homer]

your very much comparing 2 type bikes with a very similar design between them

what you should be doing is comparing the ridability
you may like one more than the other
as for 1 more hp youll lose it in grunt as bandits have more grunt less hp

LOL yes shhhh say no more ,i was just practiseing that day lol. were going to go for a ride up ta new plymouth sometime soon so i will have to beat ya this time , na those bandits absolutely fly along like blue eyed says its all the rider not so much the bike ,did u get that exhaust 4 ur bandit ?

[Bullitt]

IIRC
Hornets are lighter
Bandits are cheaper and look nicer (IMO)

[blue eyed savage]

got a small exhaust and put it on but it was WAY to loud for long trips so im going to find a beter exhaust after i get new tyers .

Didn't attempt to catch your attention, as I didn't want to a leave a bad first impression... :lol:

:lol: Unless there is another Red Camo Ninja, then I guess it must be me! Yeah, the movies and Games Workshop are my usual haunts (with stops at Borders and EB games :innocent:)

I guess I must have been dodging your cage? :whistle: :msn-wink:

Keep it if you aren't going to be using it - I'll be looking for a new exhaust at some point. ;)

[illusivemenace]
