Introduce your Bandit

good luck gas. Post updated photos as you go. Stripping and repainting is something I think most of us would like to do at some time.

I am nowhere near a fan of gold, but that works out really nice.  Very clean example of this fantastic bike.

Hi everyone!!

After reading a lot I finally decided to register, and here´s my ´91, 65.000km, single front disc version unit from Madrid (Spain).

I changed a few things, hope I can show you updated pictures soon!!

- IXIL exhaust, it sounds awesome
- Ohlins rear suspension
- Aftermarket mirrors and turn signals
- Custom made license plate holder
- New fiberglass underseat tray, with room enough for toolkit and other stuff
- GiPro gear counter
- Fork protectors

As future proyects, a coolant temp sensor (easy) and a front end swap, with 2 brake discs and maybe inverted forks (not that easy, I´m afraid)

Hey everybody,

I'm a young guy from Auckland, NZ and I'm the proud owner of a '92 Bandit 250. It's my first bike and I love it to pieces. In NZ we have graduated licenses, from learner to restricted to full. During the first two stages you can't ride a bike larger than 250ccs and most people either ride a new Ninja or Hyosung or an old beaten up ZXR, CBR, etc.
I got my Bandit in beautiful condition with only 13,000 km's on the clock and she's a beauty! Goes great, sounds much better than modern 250s, and they're just uncommon enough here to get some interested looks and people asking me about it, everyone agrees it is a great looking machine.



Here she is sitting next to my brother's GSX-R 600.

PS: I'm looking at getting a secondhand B4 seat cowl (Gimbel) online, does anyone know if the 400 cowl will also fit onto the 250?

hi there
 i'm from invercargill in new zealand
this is my gj77a 250v that i bought as a write off with 35,000km
was all cosmetic damage tho.
a new set of bars,new front and rear pads and rear rotor
new front tire and mirrors and she's back on the road.
it has a no name aftermarket can and a trail tech vapor lcd dash.
has just cost a new new reg/rect and a set of float valves and seats and runs like a dream.
i've read about the gixxer front end and shock swap on to a b4, but does anyone know if they would fit the gj77a?
i love small high strung wee bikes and want to beef up the brakes and suspension
cheers for any help and advice

1992 Import
vc motor

Bought 18mths ago for the missus before she passed her bike test. Originally the ideal was tidy it up and get running nice for when she passed her test. Then plans changed and it was a full on re model, my guide lines were! Must be white and kawasaki green, Must have an R6 tail, Must have different headlights OMG the list was endless  

So stripped it down, repainted the frame/swing arm/fork bottoms, fitted new seals in the forks, repaired the rev counter, fitted risers and renthal bars, chopped the rear seat frame and added new sections to get the R6 rear to fit, modified the R6 lower panels to fit, made up brackets to fit a kawasaki z750 headlight, had the R6 seats recovered in kawasaki green, fitted a zx6r rear master cylinder and a bandit 600 front, repainted the wheels and polished the rims,repainted  the calipers, fitted goodridge braided brake lines, altered and fitted a custom hornet belly pan (still got to paint up the brackets) rebuilt the carbs, just the paint/graphics and a bit of fine tuning left to do
