1986 Yamaha Radian. First ride.

1986 Yamaha Radian. Bought it non-running. Spent the last several months rebuilding it. Rebuilt carbs, new sprockets/chain, paint (rattle can), electrical work. New tires. Took time, sweat, blood.. but so worth it now that it is ready to ride!

I owned one of these from 92-'03. Small, quick, and had plenty of power but I hated the bike compared to my other for two reasons: 1. The range absolutely sucked. I could only go about 100 miles on my 3 gallon tank, and 2. The seat was as comfortable as sitting on a brick.
