Just picked up my next bike, Its a 1989 Yamaha YX600 Radian.
600cc air-cooled 4, standard/sport in black with 23K on the odo.
Runs real nice and strong, and seems like it will be pretty fast; when they came out they would do the 1/4 in 12.1 ASL.
I had to re-locate the throttle cable, and I still need to set the idle when its nice and warm, so it deosnt free rev once it deos warm up.

Sweet bike, man!

Did it come with any extras?

No extras. Gone is the stock exhaust, gone is the factory rear grab bar, and gone is about 85% of the tread on the rear tire (somebody had fun with that one) So that's a definite no on the extras.

congrats man :) I think we need to get everyone together that has bikes, and do some big rides this summer :) That'd be pretty cool if we were able to get a big group together!

I could go for that. I never get to ride with anyone but my parents, and they're hog riders so I'm always the odd-ball jap bike rider wherever we go. And now I can go faster than them, and I wouldnt want to leave them too far behind ;)
But soon my girl will be riding, so we can cruise together.
We definitely need to organise a ride. Get plenty of warning so I can get work off.
