Information: I felt I got a steal of a deal on this sweetheart. The suspension is a little stiff, but I want to put a corbin seat on it before I decide to soften it. Otherwise it´s amazing how powerful this bike it. My ´02 ZX-9R was a real neck breaker, but this baby has caught me off guard twice with it´s rush of power. I followed a friend home from work to see his new home being built and stopped to turn left too soon. When he passed me at the light at 60+, it gave me an opportunity to jump out of the left turn lane back onto the highway and see what she´d do... TOO FAST TO ENJOY THE ACCELERATION BECAUSE IT´S OVER TOO SOON...LOL DO NOT RIDE one of these until you´ve got some serious experience on a smaller crotch rocket. According to the specs on bikepics.com, this baby is less than two torque Nm short of the GSX-R1000. The ThunderAce has more torque than the R1... OUCH ´97 TA (108.3 Nm @ 8500 rpm)
