I would not judge this bike on the dyno chart, quarter-mile, or lap time even though the numbers are not that bad. The Bandit was not intended to be some Hayabusa-beater. In real world situations ridden on the street, this bike has instant-on-performance that can not be quantified by dyno charts or quarter-mile times. The Bandit looks good, is comfortable to ride, has plenty of power and speed, and lots of great features like ABS brakes. I put the carbon yoshimura exhaust which sound so nice, and I get about 42 to 50 mpg. The bike handles great on all types of roads, and the hills are a lot of fun. This bike can keep up with any sport bike out there. I couldn't ask for a better bike for the buck.
