Bandit 1250 questions

[GT Biker]

Bike mag rates the bandit 1250 at about 93bhp, but just about everywhere else I read about the bandit say around 100bhp. Maybe the 93bhp figure is at the rear wheel rather than the engine output? Anyone have any idea on what the actual engine power is? I even heard that better exhausts can add 1-2bhp but I havent noticed anything with my unbaffled one.

Can anyone tell me what the top speed is for the 1250? I often read 140mph+ but has anyone actualy tested it?

Everywhere I have read says about 100, but the Speed Four is suppose to be about that and the Bandit was much faster, must be a huge amount of torque, but still 100bhp doesn't sit right I think it is quicker.

Hi

Would guess that 100hp is the Suzuki claim while 93hp is what Bike have got when testing one on a dyno.

Doubt most people can feel a difference of 10% in power, although they will likely feel a change in power delivery (and why a less powerful bike with a more interesting power delivery can feel faster). Screw up the low down power with a badly set up exhaust and the resulting top end rush can make it feel like you have gained power.

All the best

Look at the torque output of the Bandit over the Speed Four, it makes a fair bit more.
Admittedly that wont affect the top speed though.
