Can't believe I'm agreeing with Funky here, but Badgers bike is a UK model so easier to insure & you can get bits from a main dealer. It's up and running and being used on a daily basis.

The Jap Model 400 Bandit is just as easy to insure, i've had matching quotes on both... The gsxr they want considerably more to insure. The jap models generally came with a better spec, such as better brakes, stainless exhaust and so on.

I loved my Gixer 400, was my first big bike! Had no probs with mine. Then I chopped it in for an 08 Bandit 650!
