Bandit 600 GSF vs XJ600N; which should i buy?

i use to own an Diversion faired but am now lokking to upgrade to a better looking fully polished naked bike. Any views on them both?





I dont know if there is much difference between the 2 but i can see the xjn has 60bhp and the bandit 78bhp.





My diversion 600 i had before use to be nippy and especially when i got her carbs cleaned and ballanced, but will i get more thril and performance from the bandit 600?





1 year has passed since i got my full bike licence, and the divi was cool, but now i need some fun and especially something i wont get bored of for a few years.





Cheers bikers|||DIVVY,


cheaper to maintain easier to service at home requires few specialized tools.


Cheaper to buy, more original un touched models on the market spares easily available, few mods or aftermarket bolt-ons. relatively staid ride but a performance commuter in the 0-40 mph bracket..


BANDIT


Can be costly to maintain


Badly maintained bike drink fuel like anything.


Un touched examples few and far between, many have been seriously modded


Spares (those that don't wear out ) are cheap and easy to come by.


ONE OF THE MOST STOLEN BIKES IN THE UK


In standard form brakes and suspension adequate. If modified seek to sort out brakes and preload.. otherwise it will handle like a mule stung by a hornet.


UNBELIEVABLE horsepower available on a fully stacked engine.. Engine is relatively bullet proof


Large range of alternative engines will fit the un modified frame, however frame will need bracing to take a fire breathing 750 GSXR oil boiler... AND fit a braced swing arm.|||bandit....|||The bandit is more tunable, has a bigger support network (and lots more people specialise in bandits)





Is way more fun to ride, the divvy, though a good starter and commuter bike is ultimately bland compared to a bandit.





Both were budget bikes but the suzuki is better built.|||go down the triumph rout i did never looked back|||Triumph street triple sounds like the bike for you!675cc,well balanced,beats all the opposition in the same capacity class.For build quality and reliability,have a Honda hornet,but hey..buy british %26amp; have fun.


P.s.Bandits are bullet proof,but go with your heart!
