• 'Variable Valve Control' with a 14K redline
• JDM Water Cooled 400cc four cylinder
• Ideal starting point for an RC164 Replica

The Bandit 400V was equipped with a newly developed 4-cylinder 400cc engine featuring a Variable Valve Control system that electronically controlled the opening and lift amount in tune with the engine speed, gear position, and throttle opening to spread out the power delivery from low to high rpms, allowing for an incredible 14'000 RPM redline. Developed mainly for the Japanese domestic market and never officially sold in this country, this c1992 Bandit 400V was imported and registered in the UK in 1997. The engine is actually water cooled but the cylinders are still finned giving the appearance of an air-cooled motor and together with its high rev limit would make an ideal starting point for a 1960s style Honda RC164 or Benelli four cylinder replica project. Just imagine it revving to 14'000 with four open megaphones! The bike has been stood for a few years and will require a battery, carb clean and recommissioning before use, but was fired up last year on a jump pack.

Please note: This bike appears on the HPI database in 1998 as a Category D Insurance Loss. The fuel tank is dented and there are scratches to the paintwork on the frame, both expensive items that would have made the bike uneconomical to repair for the insurance company.
