cb900 hornet or bandit 1200

[Kendog]

gezzzz chris .. I would think he has the bike by now .. the original thread was started in 2006

Can't fault a guy for trying! And the Hornet love needs to be passed around!

Did you notice he was replying to someone that asked about the bike yesterday?

I'm doing the same thing, which one choose but with the new model fuel injected. Any advise anyone

Go for the Bandit, Brian. Its closer in riding style to your current bike. But they are both good choices.

Hi, I have a hornet 900, brand new in 2003. I have done 80,000 + K's on it and it has never missed a beat. I ride it to work every day into Wellington, I thrash it about the hills at the weekend. It has been drag raced (I suck at drag racing) hill climbed (I suck at hill climbing) been in a number of time trials/sprints (230 kph max. 11.55 sec standing 1/4 ). My partner and I just did the South Island on it 4500 + in 2 weeks no problem.
Cars have had fuel injection as standard for more than 10 years.
Fuel injection and sexy looks gave the Hornet the nod

Go for the 1200, its built like a brick shit house and moves if you need it to, real comfortable riding position and tourque for africa. Maintanance is easy, new oil every 5000k, on the dot, fresh oil regularly and it will go for yonks

sounds like my kinda bike ... ... just waiting for a 1200 to be dropped off at the bike shop so i can test ride it .. have taken a 600 out & the latest 1250 .. loveddddddddddd the 600 .. 1250 would have loved to really tested her out but since she was not a demo model could not rack up the ks .. so wanna test the 1200 out & perhaps the 600 again
