sekouhaze's Review of Yamaha YZF-600R Thundercat 600 Sports Bike
26th May 2009
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Length of ownership6 months
- Reliability
- Year Manufactured2001
- Build quality
Great on gas, Fun to ride, comfortable for short or tall rider. Easy to perform maintenance on. For a true rider this bike offers plenty of push when taking off. Continuous, steady acceleration in gears 2 thru 6.
Bad Points
Max speed is in the mid 140's, the weight of the bike can cause back wheel to lock very easily, A little sluggish in first gear up to about 6rpms, Kinda jerky when at low rpms(not unbearable just annoying).
General Comments
The Yamaha YZF-600R Thundercat 600 is my first ever bike that I have owned. Unfortunately I learned to ride on a much larger bike (Hayabusa). For a 600 this bike is very good and reliable. Can keep up with other bikes pretty easily until you get to about 140mph. I have definitely enjoyed owning it and will probably never sell it even when I get a bigger bike next year. This is a great starter bike for anyone who is thinking about buying a bike. The difference in the insurance price between the thundercat and the R6 was what really sold me on it.

Insurance
So, if a driver with the $5,000 minimum totals out your $15,000 bike, his insurance company will pay you only $5,000. How will you get the other $10,000?
