86 - 90 Yamaha Radian Left Handlebar Switches - lights horn - off 1986 YX600 #B
This 1986 Yamaha Radian was a "barn find". It was ridden only 13K miles, then put into dry inside storage. The engine turned over fine, but given its age (and dry rotted tires) we did not attempt to ride it. The YX600 Radian is a sport/standard motorcycle manufactured by the Yamaha Motor Company between the years of 1986-1990. The Radian came equipped with a slightly detuned version of Yamaha's 598cc, air-cooled, inline-4 which was used in the Yamaha FZ-600 Sport Motorcycle (grandfather of Yamaha's FZR series of performance bikes), and initially designed with 528cc for the 1981 XJ550 Seca and Maxim then in 1984 the bore, stroke and carburetor size were increased for the Yamaha XJ600/FJ600 sport bike. In 1986 the engine was fitted with smaller 550 style carburetors to fit between the frame rails in the Japanese FZ400 chassis and introduced as the FZ600 which was produced until 1988. The YX600 Radian chassis received less high performance components than its race-bred relatives in order to make the machine more affordable for the general riding community. Some of these features included twin rear shock absorbers, rear drum brakes, and the lack of performance fairings, lending the motorcycle's appearance to the increasingly popular "Naked bike" styling at the time. Although the Radian's powerplant had slightly less top-end performance than its racing counterpart, the Yamaha FZ-600, it was noted that the machine's mild detuning actually contributed to a stronger mid-range powerband, and that the bike could actually pull away from an FZ model during short distance testing. Zero to 60mph acceleration tests of under four seconds are not uncommon with the YX600 Radian. |

Chrysler Delta arriving at UK dealers – Chrysler Ypsilon arrives September
Fri, 26 Aug 2011Chrysler Delta - now arriving in UK dealers There’s a long history of Lancia in the UK being associated with grief. So much so that Lancia left the UK market altogether in 1994. But now it’s on the way back, although you wouldn’t know it from the badges on the cars which herald that return – the Chrysler Delta and the Chrysler Ypsilon.
McLaren mysteries: Some things you might not know about the P1 and its maker
Fri, 03 May 2013The McLaren P1 is one of the most spectacular supercars in the world, and it's been an object of fixation for enthusiasts since it debuted as a concept last fall in Paris. The basics are well known: a 903-hp hybrid powertrain, carbon-fiber for almost everything, and taut, curvaceous styling that introduces McLaren to a fresh generation. The P1 grew out of a somewhat hokey mission statement that McLaren produced back in 2009.
