Re: Show us yer bikes!
Seems like it's been "nearly " for ages- what's the hold-up old boy?
( not that I'm in any position to pass any comment on project bike timelines admittedly- well with one or two exceptions )

He’s free to come and go as he pleases, keeps an eye in things, never joins us for dinner though.

Re: Show us yer bikes!
I had an FZR600R, which is pretty much the same bike as the Thundercat, it was a brilliant bike, I really liked it, but decided I wanted something more focused, so traded it in for an early 750 SRAD. Honda 400 V fours are brilliant handling bikes, I don't like the engine, but the handling really is fantastic.

Re: Show us yer bikes!
This lovely old Monster
She was never supposed to be a road bike, and certainly not my only road bike!! But damn she's fun. And pretty perfect really for the local roads
Sad I can't ride her as much as I'd like TBH, but she's staying Once I've sorted the reregistering, she'll stay in the garage for fun days out or as a 'spare' for visitors (as long as I add another bike next summer - if not, I'll be riding the lovely Red Monster, just not as often as I'd like to )

Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!
Re: Show us yer bikes!
There are some fine bike photos here. I love the 400s personally being small and compact like myself. The handling is superb.
Picked up the Thundercat for a song, and I really like it’s steady user friendliness. I was looking for an SV650 or an ER6 at the time.
I am hankering after a GS550 though to get some retro cool in my life

Re: Show us yer bikes!
My Swamp rat Thundercat looked like that in a previous life. I got it to rat till it dies but stripped it down and chucked a lot of shit in the bin and bought a few bits then Boom. Got busy in work so its still under a tarp. Ill not embarrass myself wit a picture but this sprocket may let you know how it looks
It did have potential when i got it

Does that actually qualify as a 'sprocket'?
