For those of us in the US, the Thundercat is the very same bike as your own YZF600R. The UK drops the typical cryptic letter/number combinations from the names and uses actual names for their bikes. Makes sense doesn't it? For example, a Honda CBR600 is simply a "Blade". The ThunderCAT isn't to be confused with the ThunderACE, the Cat's 1000cc big brother. Basically the same as the 600 for the most part, but with the larger 1000cc motor. For those of you with your eye to detail: You can make your US edition YZF600R a "Thundercat" with the simple additions of a few decals on the fairings near the "YZF" decals that say Thundercat in script writing. You'll also have to add the "Aero Super Sport" decals on both sides of the rear fairings under the seat. There, instant UK spec. Thundercat! Look up www.tapeworks.com for the specific decals, they'll know what ones you need.
