They're a little spicier with the inclusion of gixxer cams, though. And a better exhaust/intake system. Maybe some better plugs, too.
This is, of course, entirely dependent on just how big a project you fancy.
In my opinion, what starts as a boring bike can become a bit of a laugh, if you're willing to mod it appropriately.
Of course, it ends up costing more than it's worth at resale, and it's still a Bandit (kind of), but they're easy to work on, and the engines are relatively hard to kill. Having said that, they do become easier to kill once they're modified...
You're right about the back end, though - it's fugly. In my case, this is not improved by the fact that all of the plastic on mine (what little there is of it) is utterly fuggered.
On a side note: streetfightering a sports bike would be made of brilliance, if your tastes run that way. I'm largely ambivalent, having lapsed into a Bandit-Owner's Huff about your disdain of them  ____________________ '10 SV650SF, '83 GS650GT (it lives!), Questionable DIY dash project, 3D Printer project, Lasercutter project |

Bandit? Pah. Pre '98 GSX600F, remove all fairings, bar bellypan. Can be found for little more than the price of a bandit, then all you need to shell out for is bar ends and indi's.

...and you said ewww to mine?
Second one looks nae bad though.
The third one, though hideous, does come with a knuckleduster, for when you get pulled over by real arsehole coppers. ____________________ Current Bikes: Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 (2020)

Looks alright, for a naked bike, could use different lights though, ideally ones useful at night  |

Hornet, nice get some pics up when you get it, and let me know what yokes are used for that USD front end so I can do it to mine
Edit: Never mind, i found the eBay page. Good price for it if it has all the stuff he says it has. Break it and sell it all for a profit  |
