Hi all,
Long time reader on here just never posted before, nothing to offer that you guys don't type before me and have been happy over the last year or so with my trusty SV650.
But, loooong story short, my SV is going and I really don't know which avenue to take.
Local-ish garage has this Thundercat 600 (Its the bike at the bootom of the webpage - http://www.cheshirecustommotorcycles.co.uk/Bikes) for £1,795 with the following brief description
Yamaha Thunder Cat 600 YZR
One Owner
17,000 miles
Excellent Condition
£1795
I've not been to sit on it yet, but as a 6'4" person with dodgy knees the sport-bike thing never really appealed, but this seems a more relaxed ride from what I have gathered on-line.
The next find was this Bandit 1200 Now this one shows as £1,595 on the dealers site, but the same bike is on Biketrader for £1,795, so either way same price range as the 'Cat.
Now I have sat on a Bandit 12 and it was comfy as hell, granted not moving, but do any of you guys have experience on either bikes, any of you tall-ish and did you find them comfy and last I guess is at the same price range should I obviously go for the bigger bike?
Appreciate your help no this guys and hopefully I can stick around and help others as time goes on.
Cheers
*Edited, 'Cat link screwed up!
