I bought the thundercrap because after I'd sold the blade I waited to long to get another bike and couldnt use the no claims bonus I had, I wanted a blade then but they wanted 600 quid insurance for a toy The thundercrap was only 120 and it was a clean bike, quickest thing I've ever sold on Gumtree, put it on at teatime sold at 10 the morning after, people txting me and emailing at 12 at night

So I've built my no claims back up with it,

Take it the toyota/Yamaha hook up niggles some people had that car 9 years now never gone wrong touch wood

Welcome in bud nice bike, I had one of them hyper reving tsport's for a short time..... Was OK quick enough but a major lack of grunt for my liking dropping three gears to wind it up got old for me [emoji3] [emoji3]

120 for the thundercrap what a bargain.

not sure about mods yet been out on it today for an hour or so only hit the shift light 2 or 3 times feels quicker and lighter than my blade used to,
but so far its got a leo vince can on it that sound the nuts and quick release fairings, also dont know if this is a mod but both lights come on together on dipped and high beam, on my sons yzf r125 only one side comes on on dipped and thought these where the same,

one niggle i have is the alarm its got a meta (not sure which one, but going of google and the fob it not the legos basic) the siren doesnt beep or sound,and theres no alarm paperwork in the folder ive got with it

Hi Simon, R1 more fun than a blade...enjoy mate.

Yep - both quarter-turn fairing fittings and both lights for dip and main are standard.

Welcome in simon, beautiful looking R1 you have and perfect colour scheme too. Liking the T Sport, I had the celica t sport back in 2003 it was fast and cornered as if it was on rails, awsome grunt from the engine too.

First class first post as well, you ticked all the boxes there so nice one
