Description

2004 Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat – 1 Owner from New – 20,000 Miles – 100% Factory Original

For sale is my exceptional, genuine one-owner 2004 Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat. Bought brand new by myself and cherished for over 20 years, it is now reluctantly offered for sale solely to thin out my private motorcycle collection.

Finding an unmolested, single-owner early-2000s sports-tourer is increasingly rare. This bike remains in completely factory-standard specification—retaining its original Yamaha exhaust system, standard indicators, and uncut factory rear mudguard.

After sitting carefully dry-stored as part of my collection for two years, the bike was thoroughly recommissioned to ensure it runs as smoothly and reliably as the day it left the showroom:

Full carburettor strip, ultrasonic clean, and precision tune
Fresh engine oil and OEM filter
Complete front and rear brake fluid flush
Fresh engine coolant replacement

Over 1,000 trouble-free shake-down miles covered since to ensure total reliability

Mechanical & Ride Quality:
Starts on the button first time, every time. Idles whisper-quiet and pulls with signature Yamaha inline-four smoothness across the rev range. The gearbox is positive, brakes are sharp, and handling remains precise and comfortable. Current MOT valid until May with zero mechanical concerns.

Condition & Provenance:

Mileage: Genuine 20,000 dry road miles

Ownership: 1 mature enthusiast owner from new (V5 present)

Keys & Spec: Factory original exhaust, uncut tail, standard indicators, and original key

Bodywork & Aesthetics: Presents beautifully with its original factory colours and decals. In the interest of total honesty, there are minor authentic marks from 20 years of careful use:

Front nose cone has had a neat, solid historical crack repair alongside a repaired front mounting tab (structurally sound, aligned flush, and rattles-free).

Light cosmetic paint rub next to the pillion seat where a security chain rested over the years.

A rare opportunity to secure an unmolested, 1-owner modern classic ready to ride away for the season or preserve in a collection.

Price: £2,395
