Anyone own this

Post by popkat »

Is this anyone's on here ? I like it, ad says looking for a 600, I have a Thundercat I'd swap for it, got no money to buy anything at the moment but swaps are always good.

Who's been dishing out the memory pills then.

That is a nice bike.

Why was the engine rebuilt, cct ? why were the forks changed ?
Looking at the old add it says wilburs shock but it now has a std shock with hyperpro spring. Seems it's hardly been used since Enzo sold it and he didn't use it either.

I might message the guy and offer him the Thundercat, if he's interested then we'll see, it's along way from me so would want to be sure.

When I spoke to warby when I bought an engine off him, he had the engine out to blue print it, but he knew his stuff so I wouldn't be worried about how it went back together. He was an old school tinkerer, so everything would be stripped down to find any slight improvement

Taken off the original eBay ad when it first went up just after the for sale thread on the forum. There was pic of the dyno print out too, but unfortunately I didn't grab that. I do recall it was healthy with a steady straight A/F line.

I have a feeling there will be quite a high reserve on that eBay ad.

Cheers..
Enzo was selling for £1600 ono, Surely it would be greedy for the current owner to ask more :lol: and the Wilburs shock has gone as well as the fairings been cut.
If he's interested in the Thundercat there might be a deal on, anyone near there how has a keen eye for detail who could look it over if need be ?.

Not for me, he wants a Fazer 600. did ask how much he wanted for the bike but not had a reply, I only really asked out of interest as don't have the money anyway. In fact I need the money from the Thundercat for other stuff, just the storm caught my eye as he wanted a 600 so good thing really.

Blessing in disguise then.

I hope the bike manages to find it's way home back on the forum somehow.
