    Smile Hornets V Bandits. Let's see...

    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.

    whats in a name that sounds so sweet?
    with two wheels astride, and feeling free
    either bike is hard to beat,
    but a little ol'hornet is the bee's knees to me!

    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.

    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

    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

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