You could pay someone to steal it so you could buy something decent with the insurance pay-out.

I'd definitely keep it for consumables, like others have said.

[redeem ouzzer]

Yup consumables. It’s not the sort of bike worth modifying.

Trackday would be tempting but you’ll enjoy it then realise how poor the Bandit chassis is and want something that actually handles.

If it aint broke, dont fix it!
After-market exhausts / end cans are a great way to spend money, to make a bike less valuable, and get any number of other niggles... from unwanted plod attention, through poor starting up to melted pistons.. whilst they rarely liberate any 'extra' power, and if they do frequently little, and often rob more in the mid-rage than they find at the top.
If more performance is what you are after... save the money towards a bike that has more to begin with!
Personally? I would start looking at a basic service, and trying to bring everything up to good standard condition and get the 'most' from what I got. I would pay attention to tyres, and C&S, and hum and har over whether they were near needing replacement.
I would consider any historic niggles, I had had, like a loose handlebar grip, wobbly stand, or lack of center stand, and ponder something on those lines; like a padock stand, and some decent chain-lube; I'd be looking out the widow, and pondering thermal underwear; a new over-suit, maybe some new gloves, after top of the list a new unscratched/etched visor for my hat!
If I didn't already have a rack, that would come higher up the list of 'useful' than a fancy exhaust, as would other luggage; like new throw-overs.
Otherwise? I'd stick it in the 'go-places' fund, to buy petrol, event entry, maybe even a greasy-spoon all-day breakfast batch, when out and about...

Lay off the Bandit! Mine's still giving me smiles 12 months post-DAS. I'm not making big investments in it though, and aim to move on in 2018 - Tiger maybe.
The extras I have put on are:-
Scottoiler - about $90
Mirror extenders (being a fat bastard) about $25 on eBay
Bar riser extenders (creaky back), about $20
LOUD horn for smidsy avoidance - $40.
There's your $150 - well $175. Sorry about the annoying $ signs.
