Thundercats are fairly tame. Don't be scared
Fairy tame they may be, but it's the fastest (by a long way) bike I've ridden and by god it can't half shift! Illegal speeds in second gear, it's great fun!

Aye, it's a good feeling stepping off a 125 to your first proper bike
The acceleration is a great bonus, what I really wanted was the additional stability, braking and top end to be a "real" road user, as the 125 with L plates was just a horribly feeling.

It's a softer one of the 600's so a good step.
Allows you to get used to it without wanting you to thrash it and get yourself into bother.
I had a CBR600 as a first bike when i was 20. Spent my 21st in Crown Court being banned lol.
Just remember - each and every bike is the same, be it a 400, 600 or 1,000cc - the right hand controls it!
