Thundercat for sale/swap
« on: 03 March 2015, 10:27:14 am »
It's time for a change, and my 2001 Thundercat is moving on. The missus wants to do a bit more pillioning, so I'm after a gen1 thou.
The t'cat is a cracking bike, closest to a Fazer 600, but albeit sportier chassis, and a little peakier engine. But hell does it fly! I keep up with the litre class boys on a rideout easily. 8)

Here's the spec.
2001
25000 miles on the clock.
Delkevic s/s complete system and can.
Clear d/b screen.
Wheels recently powder coated.
Recent swing arm bearings.
Complete replacement fairing in thunderace colours which is an awesome paint job. Shines up beautifully.
Mini led indicators with correct relay, not crap resistors!
Shorty adjustable levers.
Set up for commuting/touring with bar raise mod (comfy) 3" bar extenders and custom bar ends. Easily converted back to stock in minutes.

Custom rack, 35litre top box, heated grips, touring Scottoiler, aux charging socket and clock come with the bike of full price paid.
11 months MOT.

It goes, stops and steers exactly as it should.
I've been tracking the fuel consumption on fuelly for 10000 miles (12 months for me), and she averages 57mpg!!! Best is 75, worst is 52. That's better than any of my Fazer 600s.

And its over 200 miles tank range.

I'm after £1400 without the touring mods, or £1600 for the lot.
Or p/x for a Fazer thou.

Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

It's the only Fazer that I've not owned, but the only one I've REALLY WANTED for the last 10 years.
And if I can get it at least 1/2 as good as your old one Paul, I'd be a happy man!
