Just bought a Thundercat
Discussion
Just put a deposit down on YZF600R, should be picking it up in the next couple of weeks (Dealer will do the big 26k valve-clearance service, plus MOT etc before pickup).
This will be my first 'big' bike, as although I've had a full licence since 2001 I've been dicking around with scooters of varying shapes and sizes.
Will be interesting to start using a clutch on a bike for the first time since 2002 (I had a go on a Hornet 600, plus my DAS), so not sure whether to get re-training or just take it easy somewhere quiet until I get the hang of it again.
Really looking forward to it though

I bought one 3 months ago and they're an incredible bike for the money you pay!
I'm paying a little more, but its in the right colour (black) with decent mileage for the year, from a dealer (so warranty) and will have the 'big' service carried out before I pick it up...Can't really complain!
Good on ya mate. I'm thinking about dipping into the secret stash and buying myself a Thundercat to go Hooning around on.
BTW have you thought about having a refresher course? even just a day in the saddle on a cb500 may get you back upto speed and if you make a silly mistake with the clutch etc. then it's their bike not yours

Yes, I've enquired and it'd be £150.. depends when they can fit me in though as I'm currently working 6 days a week to get a lot of work done before I leave the company!BTW have you thought about having a refresher course? even just a day in the saddle on a cb500 may get you back upto speed and if you make a silly mistake with the clutch etc. then it's their bike not yours
