Posted May 15, 200816 yr Hi guys / ladys First post so sorry if it poorly presented. I passed my test this week after a few weeks on off training. I had not riden a bike since i was 17 years old, must be the age because i had the sudden to get back on a bike. 3 weeks ago i sat the theory test (what was that hazard perception thing all about) Cbt & a few lessons later there i was with a pass certificate. Next decision what bike? Did some research on various sites on recomendations for a good bike to start with after 24 years no riding. recieved some great advice from severa; people & came up with a shortlist of 3. 1/ Honda cbr600f 2/ Yamaha Fazer 3/ YZF 600 Thundercat. Came across an immaculate 1997 thundercat with full history & 2 owners 13k on the clock. Picked it up last night (bit nervous of it at first) have hardly been of it since, can not get the smile off my face. seems a good choice for a novice. look forward to joining in with the chats & any advice warmly welcomed.
May 15, 200816 yr Good choice of bike, the cat is pretty bomb proof and can take a bit of stick as you progress. You will soon be asking "which tyres are best for trackdays" and the like, no doubt!
May 15, 200816 yr welcome to the forum glad to see you are back on a bike fazer is definatly worth having a look at!
May 15, 200816 yr welcome matey... Being biased I'd say the Thundercat would be a nice bike to get into

Fazer 600 is a good machine, Foxeye model uses the Thundercat engine. Paul
