eeeew. a blue and black thunderace, that must be REALLY slow
I went to look at a thunderace before I got my fazer thou, far too "sports" riding position for me. quite liked its looks though, although I hear they can use a bit of oil?
Ironically it was one of my least favourite colours but when I saw the bike in front of me I changed my mind. The contrary happened with my favourite colour in pictures -black/light grey. It made bike look worse in person.
Ergonomically after a first week painfully building my wrists and small muscles that I didn't know they even existed I realized it has more legroom, do not make my buttocks to ache despite spending the whole day on it and keeps me better from cold air or mosquitoes. Add it has a much better sports performance and it is great. This and the Kawa zx9r are the only sportbikes for tall people. Add jacking up dogbones and you have endless ground clearance.
Yes like FZRs most of them use oil, mine too. But my fazer did too so I'm used to it. Some people say it can be solved with GTS 1000 piston rings. I just stretch oil changes and carry a little bottle of oil under the seat as I did with the Fazer.
