Can't believe I'm the first to show off one of these! Unfortunately it's an old picture and she's a bit worse for wear recently, trying to get her fixed up by July .

My dearly beloved.
Now sold. She was poorly. I did love her very much! Still do.
There needs to be some modern 400's on the market. Like 70hp, sub 150kg sort of shit. That would make me moist.
None of this dog slow, million-mpg commuter shite like the new Honda 500's.

Just a question to the Bandit 400 owners, I've read so many mixed reviews... What are they really like to own? |
Bought off a mate in 2002 with 12k on clock for £1700, aged 17, skipped the 125cc and did my test:up:
As you can see from pics mine was a yank import with single disc and no VV and it was a good little bike with a lovely frame and geometry that I had for 8 years and 25000miles. I even went from Norwich to Wales to brighton to Norwich in a weekend once and it sat on the motorways 2up at 8krpm=80mph all the way.
top speed was about 120mph=12krpm!!! screaming, so I generally never pushed it past a ton, but it got there fairly briskly.
about 54bhp 30torques so you had to give it beans to get it going as about 160kgs but nimble none the less, especially with Bridgestone 090s on
I messed with it a fair bit when I went thorough my "fighter phase" jacking up the back, changing the lights and bars, polishing rims, recovered seat to match custom paint, swapped rusty headers for SSteel etc. great fun.
2 low sides, both of which it faired well on. Although obviously the exhaust suffered on one of them. and I had to bend the bars back in a vice. Gave me excuse to make a stubby can which howled wonderfully at the 13k rpm redline.
The only problems were generally ones I created in my naive late teens early 20's
Neglected chain snapped. But a new sprocket cover and clutch pin fixed.
Sump bolt thread went.
when taking tank off I had a prob with vac hose causing fuel issues which left me and my sweetheart late at night stranded and the bike going to the garage. (she's still with me(sweetheart not bike))
Then in recent years probably due to air horns, neons and double the headlight wattage and all manner of other electrical tat being badly fitted by me over the years (including a sub and amp at one stage!!!!  )
The electrical issues began manifesting around 37kmiles.......headlight circuit kept blowing fuses, then one day she started and within 2minutes, smoke was bellowing from under the rear seat and she stopped never to start again for me (CDI Burnt out) I attempted to source a replacement spent £80 and failed.
Decided it was time for her to go. some bloke paid me £350 in 2011 for her as a non runner.
it was a bike that taught me a great deal about motorcycling and engines. But remember, it was an old bike when I bought it. Now its a really old bike! So if you intend on buying one, perhaps attempt to source a permanently garaged low mileage example with a few crates of spares.
