Are the bandit 400's still being made outside the USA??? I was told they stopped selling them here in the US years ago. I am aware of the 600's and 1200's but the little 400 is a silly fast little bike. I had one and loved it but for many reasons it found itself on ebay! The kid that bought it was happy as hell and stunned by it's power. I still have the real factory service book that I paid big bucks for anyone interested let me know. I will take any resonable offer.
As always good luck and be safe.
Have Fun

Yeah, there are lots here. They go for about 25% cheaper than a 400 for the same year/condition. Same body, just a smaller engine about 15hp less and fair bit lighter.
