Hello from a Cat fan

Cheers All.

Hi!! Welcome and Congrats on passing your test..................I could comment on the height issue, but shan't...........
The Thundercat is very adaptable, I have the opposite problem................

Re: Hello from a Cat fan
I wish I could say I had the opposite problem
I've been learning on a Honda CBF500 and that is fine - the cat seat height is a little higher , I've yet to sit on one yet.

Yes, definately. In Germany we call the cat the "eierlegende Wollmilchsau"

For the translation i had to look to a dictionary: "all-in-one device suitable for every purpose"

Re: Hello from a Cat fan
Yes I was just thinking of that translation :lol3: It's going to be used mainly for traveling to work and back , a total journey of 68 miles - mainly motorway , dualcarriage ways , and a tiny bit in London. And sometimes for fun at the weekends .

I hope you mean the several meetings of the members and their weekend rideouts :idea:

Re: Hello from a Cat fan
Welcome in bud
As one myself who is vertically challenged I'd personally not worry about the height issue at all, Sometimes it can be a disadvantage & at other times an advantage too (on & off the bike
) , I always tend to get off the bike when manoeuvring backwards anyway as its easier than 'paddling' it.
I have a friend who rides a gixxer 750 & is 5'3" & she simply slides her arse to one side when stationary & places one foot on the floor & on track days she always laps all the blokes in her group
Its all about confidence & you will soon gain that mate in buckets full, Remember the old saying 'The bigger they are the harder they fall'![naughty](/users/3415/18/16/81/smiles/115772.gif)

I think it hurts when you fall however big or small you are, apart from those that are incredibly fat i suppose, then maybe you will bounce!!

Falling keeps me in a job....So keep it up folks!!!

Re: Hello from a Cat fan
Welcome. The cat is a great choice of bike but not sure about the height issue for you as i am a bit taller but have a sit on one to see how it feels.

Re: Hello from a Cat fan
yeah they're a big multi-marque dealer - Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Honda. Also have a massive discount centre and a fantastic burger van on Saturdays ![great](/users/3415/18/16/81/smiles/2730973450.gif)
I'm pushing 5'11" so don't really know about the height thing, all I can say is that it's comfy for me! They can be a bit rare to find in dealers to have a sit on, but if you ever bump into me you're more than welcome to see how it fits![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Hello from a Cat fan
Well i think the height thing should be answered by the 2 garden gnomes of the group
step forward Suzie and Chris(greencat)
they should be able to solve all height issues concerning the cat
i will now duck back behind the parapet and await the incoming
