Well,i have the bandit for about a year now and its working flowles withoyt any problem.Its fast enough(not as fast as other 400cc RR)but hey....its a naked bike!Its very good looking bike.The fork need replacment springs as the standard are extremely soft (i have placed White power springs and its working great).I heard some electrical problems from others but i never had a single problem.The breaks are just great (the twin disc version),i loose my rear wheel!
