Welcome to my Thunderace site!  I sold my YZF1000 in August 2000 to purchase a new R1 and I sold the R1 in August 2001 to purchase a new Aprilia Falco, but I'll continue to update this page from time to time as a resource for other Thunderace owners.  You'll find both information about my YZF1000, including the bike's history and many modifications, and also information about YZFs in general.  Of course, there are also tons of great images to look over.  Please feel free to look around and drop me an e-mail if you have any questions or comments.

Have you seen this motorcycle on eBay?
In late October 2002, I was informed the pictures from this site were being used without my permission as part of an eBay auction. It turns out that images from this site have been used in at least three eBay auctions, all without my permission. In addition to the pictures, the eBay seller also listed many of my modifications in the description. I am not the seller and to the best of my knowledge this is not the motorcycle I owned from 1998 through 2000. Before I sold my YZF in the summer of 2000, I removed most of the custom parts and sold them off separately to various individuals around the world. While it is not impossible to get similar parts now, I suspect it would be very difficult as some are not imported into the United States and/or are no longer even manufactured. The best advise I can offer regarding this auction is 'buyer beware!' Read more.
