here is a pic of my Bandit400. it is a 1996 model, but only had 2000 miles on the clock when i got it.

as I am a newbie, it is 33bhp restricted which is fine, but i am beginning to notice, and get annoyed by some flat spots.
so, anyone else here got one? |

Welcome to the forums mate, that is the first Bandit 400 I have ever seen. Looking good. I have one of the 600 Bandit variety. Restricted to 33BHP, though need to pass test yet.
Looks good for a 96 bike though. ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.

I havent really seen many Bandit4's around. I believe most of them are imported.
I'm running a Bandit 6 which is also 33bhp limited and a 96 model. Its just totally sluggish to ride with a tiny amount of power. I'm bored of it after about a month of riding the thing. On the bright side, its being de-restricted on Tuesday, also have a race can which needs fitting as it sounds pretty awful as standard.
The 400 does look cute though, very smart machine. Not much difference to the 600 by the looks of things. Only thing that puts me off yours is the pillion grab rail. Stands out too much, but that could be removed to look considerably nicer. ____________________ Aprilia RSV Mille R Edwards Replica - Aprilia RS250 - Suzuki GSXR600 Supersport Race Bike |

In fairness to what Yams said they are made to a budget, So if poorly maintained, left out in the rain etc they wont look to great after a few years. Fantastic bikes for the price though, I mean £3500ish for a brand new one, You cant go wrong.
I do have a soft spot for Bandits and most other naked bikes for that matter, Add some twin headlights, a bellypan, a loud endcan, buy yourself a black helmet,leathers and a tinted visor then you're all ready to terrorise the streets ____________________ My bikes are at https://www.bikepics.com/members/dynamight/ |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 19 years, 24 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
