Yamaha YZF-R description

This is a 2001 Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat.  I have owned this bike since 2005; was my first street motorcycle.  I'm going to be completely honest and say that as of now the bike does not run.  The last time this bike was ridden was summer 2011.  At that time the bike ran excellent, and since then has been garage kept.  After I added two Harleys to my collection I never found time to get back on this, so it has went 5 years without being started.  There is no battery, the engine would need refreshed with new fluids and carbs cleaned obviously, and a new fuel line would probably be necessary.  The body plastic has some cracks as I have shown in the pictures but the paint is still bright and the frame/chassis is in fantastic shape.  Tires have 70% tread left.  The motorcycle has only 7,431 miles on it and to be honest I need to get it out of my garage so somebody can get some use out of it.  This motorcycle would be great for a first time bike or a small project bike; wouldn't take much money into this bike to make it nearly new.  It does have a 520 chain conversion kit, 1 down (front sprocket) 3 up (rear sprocket).  Feel free to ask any questions, no reasonable offer will be refused.  Pick up locally or arrange for shipping.  If price is right I would consider traveling up to 3 hours from me to meet.  For sale locally, so can end any time.  Thanks for looking.

See Britain's land speed record hopeful at Race Retro 2010

Tue, 09 Mar 2010

SEE THE MACHINE that could propel Britain to a new motorcycle land speed world record at The Race Retro 2010 show, held at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry from 12th to 14th March. Almost a year has passed since Visordown broke the news of the planned UK assault on the land speed record - this coming August the Angelic Bulldog team travels to Bonneville, where it is hoping to smash the 400mph barrier and bring the motorcycle Land Speed Record back to the UK for the first time since 1937. The current record stands at 360.913mph over a kilometre.

GSX-R600 and CBR250R the glass is half full

Wed, 13 Oct 2010

Suzuki’s GSX-R600 might not look that much different to the outgoing model but I suspect this bike could be very much a dark horse in 2011. I say this because two years ago I was definitely not building my hopes up en route to the K9 GSXR 1000 launch. The leaked pictures suggested the biggest change from the 2007 version would be some fresh graphics but I was so wrong.  As it turned out, I was greeted in Almeria with a brand new bike, built from the tarmac up and it proved to be more than a match in every department for the much hyped 2009 Yamaha R1.
