    well picked up my thundercat today and took her for my first ride. All I can say is that compared to my SV650 its an amazing piece of kit. To be fair the the SV is a budget bike and I would recommend it to anyone who wnats a lot of fun on a budget but the CAt is more comfortable, quicker, better suspension, better build quality and although heavier it handles far better. In short Im glad im a yam man now

    Its seems to me that when ever we go for a ride and stop for a chat we alway's end up laughing about that near miss !!!! The best funniest story has gotta be my 1st crash !! At the time I was living in Redhill and working in Guildford, I'd not passed my full test, was on my NSR 125 and thought I was Joey Dunlop ! A friend of mine had told me a few day's before " Your not a real rider until you've had your 1st crash " Red rag to a bull !! On the way to work on a nice and wet A25 I found myself riding over every white line, man hole and pile of crap I could find.

Name's Pete, 25 in Leicester and just got myself a tidy Thundercat to replace my tired 1200 Bandit as workhorse/commuter/winter bike. It's my first Yam, with previous rides being MT50, NS125R, GS500, SV650S, 1200 Bandit and current "fair weather only" RSV1000. And I don't drive
