So I sold the nsr and didn't have to add any cash to get my new bike, awesome. Picked up a 97 thundercat 24000 miles 4 owners in good nick. Loved the Nsr but my god this is an entirely different beast! Had much fun today but keep forgetting to take pics during the day

must remember to keep license and stay upright, exited a corner on one wheel today, I think it's a bit early for that yet! Felt like the front end was 2 foot up but I'm guessing more like 8 inches!

i doubt the wheel was even 4 inches up, depends if you ever got the front wheel up on the NSR.

Cracking bike as a first big bike, but why tempt fate like that?

Because I'm a moron! To be fair I'm mostly riding very sensibly, regarding lifting the nsr front wheel it was only possible by Using physical effort which didn't feel too controlled! Today's was as a result of coming out of a very tight turn in first gear and giving it some on the way out, I'll get some riding under my belt before I try it again!
