Sure aint, if its been properly fettled..

Ultimate waste of a decent chassis - more like..

I'd beg to differ on that, look how well received the Enfield Conti GT has been, low power, yes, but a Harris designed frame. and tuned versions of the XT660 dont cab produce around 60-70BHP, hardly a waste of a chassis then.

Wouldnt this have less power than a Hornet 250?

Doubt it.. a soft tuned 4T single is one thing, (slow) but a hard tuned unit is rough, cantankerous, hard starting, quick stalling,noisy & unreliable..
If you stick an RZ 350 mill in that same chassis, it will do most everything better..

Yep, SRX400 around 33HP and Hornet 250 around 40HP. The SRX is an awesome fun bike to ride and handles well.
I used to own one and just love the old thumpers.

Yeah, dunno if a SRX 400 really qualifies as one of "the old thumpers" - an old chuffer, perhaps.. IMO, an old thumper wants some actual 'thump'..

Nah.. some are.. a cracking BSA Gold Star, or a Velocette Venom.. maybe even a rorty hotted-up Yamaha TT 500 dirt machine..

But a soft-on chuffer SRX 400.. nah, just not enough actual 'thump'.. & as for CB 125.. def' - no way..

I'll try again. You're obviously a little slow.

Sure fella.. & some bozo may've been on a 'forum' since Caesar was a boy, but if he ludicrously rates a CB 125 as a "thumper"..
then his opinion is self-evidently - of little value.. since it is he , who "in reality knows fuck all".. Too funny..

Don't get sucked in people.....ignore button is your friend.

You're the idiot that keeps raving on about a CB125. Go and look up the correct definition of "Thumper"
and stop trying to be a fuck wit. Do your research before your mother lets you loose on her computer again.

You're changing 'tack', your original comment was what a waste of chasis wih that low power motor,,,, You dont HAVE to tune a 660 to the max, the 700cc raptor version is quite 'rorty'..... and it isnt about the HP, it's TORQUE, and a big inch single has oodles of it. You dont need HP, squillion revs, and 300kph to enjoy a well sorted bike on twisty stuff.... On many of the twisty bits here, my MT-01 was quite capable of keeping 600's in 'sight' and was quite difficult to get past with the 'launch' it has out of corners.... straight line? of course it disappears into their rear view mirrors.

Well "idiot" - your nonsensical definition of "thumper" obviously includes the CB 125, since it is a "4T single".. & only a "fuck wit" would agree with that.. too funny..
