I meant to add that...the Bandit 400 was a US market bike in 91 and 92. The FZR 400 was a Canuck bike, not a us market bike. The GSXR400, though basically the same bike as the Bandit 400, was a Japan only bike.

The bandit/GSXR 400 is a lot similar to the FZR 400, though. Similar outputs and 14000~15000 RPM operating ranges. This bike, the Bandit 400, reds out at 14000 but the redline is only in place there bacause they thought it was a good place. This engine is capable of in excess of 17,500 rpm.

I'm not trying to sell her as a streetbike. I'm trying to sell her as a track bike with the possabillity of being street legal again. I'd much rather sell her to someone who can utilize this bikes abillity.

Racing a bike is not that abusive and I don't see how anyone can think it is. I've been racing for years and have never "had" to tear into a block. I've been racing the very same air cooled '83 XJ400 for almost 3 years, after she'd had 24,000 miles put her, and been beating the hell out of her without ANY trouble.
