No...she's not a Porsche...but she's faster and nimbler...

Okay...well, faster to 118mph...lol...infinitely nimbler.

1991 Suzuki Bandit 400.

This bike is great for two things:

Best beginner's bike ever made

~and~

Amazing track bike

Anyways...she's a 91 Bandit 400, water-cooled, GSXR400 engine, stripped down to bare-bones, very naked. She's been a race-bike for the last couple years, and she's been an amazing one. EBC pads, fairly new chain, rubber needs new before next track day but is good for another half season of daily riding. Custom clip-ons, full Yosh exhaust, custom steering damper. Roughly 11k miles on engine. Bike runs excellent. Wiring harnesses fully in-tact should you want to return her to stock...would not be hard. Currently, prepped for the track, she weighs in at just over 320lbs and dynoed a solid 51rwhp (if I recall correctly).

What's wrong with her? Not a lot. Carbs need some work. The #4 float sticks and she floods out fairly easily. She needs rejetting, anyways...unless she's going back to Wisconsin or something. Title is also MIA...I've done a very thorough history search on her, no problems, title was just misplaced. An easy $20 fixes it. Outside of that she's golden.

$1000 takes her. If you want an excellent track bike to get into the sport or a good bike to learn on, this is what you want. I'm not a haggler...$1000 is what I feel she's worth. I'm always open to suggestions but it's a pretty firm price. Shipping to just about anywhere in the continental USA will run about $350...and shipping can be arranged easily to some areas (Oklahoma, Kansas, Northern Texas, etc...). I will assist as much as possible to make moving the bike as affordable as can be.



(apparently all my pics of her have been deleted...I'll get more. This is an interesting pic, though...it shows her on the scale fully lighted and street-legal~ish at 335lbs).
