This may be old news to some but I've just found it and thought some others may not have seen it.

The Thundercat Diaries

Good read.

MCN's 140 mile tank range is pretty much spot on if you are out for a good belt on country roads and hitting the redline a fair bit, 200 (before the light comes on) for a tour is about right as well.
(Lolled @ the 'reserve' and the realisation that there isn't one. )

Worth noting, if you hump it, you're talking about just over 30mpg.

:lol3:
I stumbled across that in May.

You will see that there is 1 comment against the second posting down - That's was ME!!!!

So how have you got on?

:whoop:

I have got to say that is getting up there with my most memorable sexual encounter! LOL

Statistically I am getting between 140 (that day really knackered me out - hitting limiter, white nuckles....) and 230 (early days, easy on the throttle).

I have no experience of other bikes (except the GS500 I trained on - doen't compare) but the Cat seems so diverse, very forgiving and the fact people seem to still rate the Cat alongside modern bikes is a testament their abilities. You may be able to say they were ahead of their time - LOL

I think the Cat will be with me for some years to come and if I do buy another bike I would hope to be in a position where the New one is an addition not a replacement - i think I would really miss it.

John.

have to agree with this i love this bike but i also have eyes on a triumph daytona, but it would be hard pushed to let go of the cat

i get between 190-200 out of my tank before the light comes on, the least i have had has been 180 (had a hard few days riding )
