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.

(OK I know a few GSXR400s were official UK models but very few).

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 found that when i did an inusrance quote the gsxr was aslmost £100 more to insure than the bandit.

Won't charge you commission - not until you've settled your existing debt!!!! - better still, find me a buyer for the VFR.

Well done Badger & Kicker.

If you have a daughter, she'll do.

Believe me, you'd send her back! Far too much like her mother !

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!
