2001 Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace review from New Zealand
"If you're able to ride it, you'll love it"
General comments?
The Thunder Ace is one hell of a bike; we all have our own thoughts... but remember dead men tell no tales.
I've had a lot of bikes, sports models being GSXR750J, ZXR750h1, ZX750R, all at different states of mind & age.
It's a very very good ride.. still own it and don't want to sell... next bike will be ZX14.
