Hornets V Bandits. Let's see...

**Tall Learner** · 15th January 2008, 12:41

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

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.

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

**PirateJafa** · 15th January 2008, 18:19

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** · 15th January 2008, 18:34

that sounds about right

**HornetBoy** · 15th January 2008, 18:38

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

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

**homer** · 15th January 2008, 18:51

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
