Just bought this bandit 600, cost me 400 as it was off of a family member, its got its mot in the morning. Cant see why it would fail.

Nice cheap way to get ne back into biking as i cant see my 400 bandit getting finished anytime soon Mr. Green

Its just had a new rear shock, rear tyre and progressive fork springs, i say just had, about 8 months ago when it was last used.

I would say that £400 is a great rice on the face of it.

Just don't take it too far in the rain...

Who cares about the paint job on a £400 bike that's just a cheap daily rider to get someone back on the road cheaply. If I wanted to be anal about the looks/colours or cosmetics on a 600 Bandit, I'd be prepared to spend alot more than £400 on one.

I guess there's plenty of you that want a perfect looking bike for next to no money, simply because it's a Bandit?

Agreed, its just a bike to get me back into biking, i might do a proper paint job on it, but its immaculate, so i'm thinking... why bother?, its different.

overall very please with 400 for it. insurance is surprisingly cheaper than the bandit 400.

Well, it's no keggyhander, which disappoints me immensely.
However, a running B6 for £400 in decent nick is a good price.

If the paint was done properly to a good finish you could probably sell the painted bits, buy some black standard bits from eBay and come out in profit overall.

Just an idea Thumbs Up

Absolute bargain if you can live with the paint job.
Very much marmite though. In this case, I would rather it covered in marmite Laughing

For the money, that's fine. TBH, 49k is not an excessively high mileage for a B6 engine anyway.
