1997 Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat

Summary:

It is a great beginner motorcycle, and I give it top marks for comfort!

Faults:

Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it yet. I got scared with it being my first bike that overheating was an issue, but found out that the radiator fan kicks in at around 110 degrees Celsius.

General Comments:

This was my first bike, so I have little to nothing to compare to this, plus I am writing this at 2 in the morning while intoxicated, so bear with me.

I LOVE my Thundercat. It almost keeps up with my friends modern 600cc's, plus it's 1000X more comfortable to sit on (which contrary to what I thought before, matters a lot).

It has also been quite reliable, even though I drive it every day and have put on 4000km in 3 months.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
