My New Pre-Owned Bandit
Recently bough a 400 bandit from M1KE.
Initial difference between my old 125cc Kawasaki Eliminator and the Bandit was... big.. but now I'm used to it I find it very smooth and easy to ride, and a laugh to thrash around, even though I am restricted to 33bhp. (passed test and started riding bandit 2 weeks ago). Was a little rattly and not amazingly smooth round corners, but with new chain and sprocket kit, new front tyre and a crab balancing (carbs were really umbalanced), I find I can easily keep up with my m8's on 600's (Triumph Speed Four and Honda Hornet).
That's about it... Just thought I'd tell people whats going on and get a bit more of a presence in these forums.

Sorry on the unbalanced carbs, my carb balancing gauges were a bit rubbish.
