I agree with your last sentence. Thats the only reason I agree to pick one up. Wicked. Cheap.

He's ok, just had surgery on his wrist and is in general battered up, but he was wearing gear, so luckily no skin grafts or anything.
And I agree--the Thundercat is an under-rated bike. Comfy, capable, dependable. Like a blue F3.

A few more pics
He's out of town for now, but he had his bike towed back to our garage. Here it is next to my rust bucket o' death:
The forks may need a bit of work
What's left of the front
The levers appeared fine at first, but unless they're pre-bent I think they may need replacing. Either way I'm surprised how well they held up.
Radiator seems intact and so do all the coolant hoses, etc... so everything aft of the radiator looks good. It will probably start up fine.
The ballasts made it, but it may need some work before the HIDs work again
Steering lock isn't very effective any more...
Overall I think it's more reparable than we thought. It may very well never ride the same though.

Ooooh didn't know this thread was around, I ride an 09 GSXR750 with the pearl white/white body off the '09 600 I had special installed from the dealer. I started on a 600 but stepped up to the 750 for the poser style putzing around town. The bottom end has that tiny bit more grunt to make life a little easier. If I could do it again, I'd make the switch to a motard, I can ride to nowhere near the potential of this monster and never will. Not to mention it's hideously uncomfortable for me at 6'3" with scoliosis. Only picture I've got of it
Mod wise its basically stock
- Cat-hacked with a Micron GP slip-on
- Set-valve eliminated
- 02 eliminated
- PCV
- Pilot Power 2CT's after my stock rubber choked on a rather large nail at 1,000km
- 4500k HID in lowbeam, Silverstar Highs
- Ricerific red rim tape. Not really digging it, probably coming off soon
Most of my "mods" were buying quality gear, Arai lid, A* SMX-Plus boots, A* RC-1 jacket, gauntlet gloves. I cant afford pants right now though, or trackdays. The bikes been rather neglected lately since I bought the e30.1990 332i, 4 door
2008 KTM 990 Superduke
2018 Golf R, 6spd manual (Pending delivery)
2017 Mazda CX-5 GT
2007 Z4M Coupe - Sold to very nice people

I think it is too focused and is preventing me from riding more than I do. 50 miles per tank gets ridiculous. I'd like to get my hands on one of the following: Triumph Speed Triple, Ducati Monster 900, or BMW K100S.
