I would strongly suggest to pass on the Bandit.
Notorious for carb problems,rusty tanks & valve adjustments. Have a look at
http://forums.banditalley.net/index.php?action=forum ,tons of useful info.
I also learnt the hard way,loved the bandit before even seeing it & thinking all the problems would be semi easy to fix,my daily ride has resulted in me putting several hundred miles on the clock in 8 years & many days walking to work.
Most parts are still available but everything i needed had to be shipped,parts from the U.S,Australia,Singapore & Hawaii.
When it runs its quick & handles relatively well for the weight,considering the age of these bikes also, but there are many options in the same range.
I am hoping i will be lucky enough to unload the Bandit in the next few days at about 60% of my purchase price,i dont want to think how many thousands i put into this pit over the years
