Ive owned 4 thunderaces over the years and a lot of other stuff but nothing comes close for usability. ive done a few mods including a hayabusa front end (quickens up the steering) 955i single sider / cbrr subframe seat/modded exhaust/ looks the dogs. Stays with most new stuff on the road both sliders worn out all for less than £3000 result ! get one before the secret gets out.

Yamaha YZF1000 Thunderace
Mine's a P Reg Thunderace, looks stunning in black/grey/silver.
I've had it for a year and a half, done 5000 miles (now 23K). It's very fast once the EXUP exhaust valve opens at 6000rpm, the whole character changes from a tourer to something much more exciting.
Handling and brakes are just great, its ultra ultra reliable, economical - just one great bike.
Psst it's for sale too, £1650 with new MOT and just fitted rear tyre (puncture, sigh, always garaged, beautiful, call Bob on 07830 146884 (June 08)

I bought an ace 2 weeks ago with a smashed fairing so have streetfightered it till i can come across fairing parts when enough cash available. This is the first yamaha ive owned since my first bike RD250C. I am so impressed with it looks. handling, braking Pillion seat has our lass wetter than an otters pocket, fuel consumption is good roll on the summer (hope for sun peeps)to bet it above 7000rpm in all gears

Review
I've owned my Thunderace for 5 months now, it's been used for short trips to work and back (around 5 miles) and longer trips (55 miles) 3 times a week. Most of this time has been in either, freezing cold ice and frosts, or rain that could sink Noah's Ark! Yet, it's still a pleasure to get on her and ride.
The reliabilty has been absolutely faultless (1 puncture aside, hardly a bike fault!) Although the road salt is having an effect on the fasteners(can you name a bike that doesn't?). I do my own maintenance and it is a bit of a bind to get access to the essentials, oil, filter and coolant levels as the fairing is made up of so many pieces.This could be me being used to motocross bikes though, as it's been a while since I've owned a road bike.
I run Bridgestone 021 tyres and find they last well and out perform the Pirelli's that were fitted when I got the bike, in the wet and slime at least!
The handling of the bike also impressed me. Previously i've owned GSXR's and a VFR 400, and I swear the Ace turns as quick as the Gixer! Although it does take a bit more manhandling! The Ace makes use of a YZF 750 frame, so it probably shouldn't come as too much of a shock though, as these bikes have won BSB titles!
The best bit about her though is her engine. 145bhp may not be cutting edge for a 1000cc bike these days, but it's plenty powerful enough for the road. Pulling away from 30 zones in top, with pillion onboard is no trouble! Yet, give her some revs (8000+) and the exhaust note changes and the world gets alot smaller! (if you can stop the wheelspin in the rain!) 2nd gear power wheelies are no problems either.
All in all, I think these are underated bikes. If you want the latest 1000cc sportsbike and all the pose that goes with it, then this isn't the bike for you. But if you want something that'll rack up 1000's of miles in comfort and still have enough "sportiness" to duff up the the GSXR 1000 owners in their matching leathers, boots and unmarked kneesliders, then give one a close look. With a relatively soft setup, R1 brakes, 37mpg and the grunty lump, there really isn't much any quicker on the roads of Britain.

Review
Thunderace bought this nearly 4 years ago was Red/White/Black. My mate works for Equire Bikes in Bury St Edmunds gave it a good once over and Dyno'd it, fitted a K&N , Rengade can and a Dyno Jet kit now pushing 150BHP. This bike is a vastly under rated machine smooth and easy to ride round town loads of torque no need to gear hop constantly just wind her up. She eats the miles when touring or doing long distances from Cambridge to Northern Germany in 1 run only stopped for fuel once and a coffee (it was cold). Easily keeps up with full on knee down sportsters but dont need to get a new spine or wrists after a run out. Never had a problem with her except a sticky ex up valve Again thanks to mates 2 hr job shes on top form again. Yamaha could have done far more to promote these machines and now really dont have a faired sports tourer. I know the big sales are sports bikes and the R1 was being pushed to compete against the CBR but us poor non Rossi wannabes got shunted again. Sadly they now have stopped the line so no more aces. All I can say I cant rave enough about this bike a really exceptional all rounder does whatever I ask. I thought so much of this bike I was knocked off by a I didnt see you driver (me lights on AGV Kinetic lid with bright orange Union Jack)that I bought the bike back from the insurance she is now going to be a deep blue.
