Flashback 1991 First Street Bike NEW 600cc 1989 Yamaha Radian

I stumbled onto an old VHS tape and to my surprise it had a video clip of my very first street motorcycle. I bought it new in 1991, but it was a 1989 Yamaha Radian that the dealer still had un-assembled in a box! A 600cc air cooled bike. It was quick and gorgeous. I was in process of moving from Illinois to go to school in Pensacola, Florida. The bike was only $3000.

Still have the bike?

Sold it after 2 years of commuting 25 miles to classes and work in Florida. Man those mid day brief rain storms with giant rain drops sure hurt at 50+ mph!
