86 - 90 Yamaha Radian Rear rear hub dampers / rubbers 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. |

Mon, 01 Oct 2012Lexus has expanded the CT 200h range for 2013 with a new entry-level CT 200h S and additional equipment across the CT200h range. Two years on from the launch of the Lexus 200h at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, Lexus UK has decided it’s time to have a play and add a new entry-level model. The CT 200h range now gets extended to five models - S, SE, Luxury, F Sport and Premier – with the CT 200h S being the new addition and sporting a new lower price point for the CT 200h.
Tokyo motor shows: past, present and future
Thu, 20 Aug 2009By Tim Pollard Motor Shows 20 August 2009 09:30 As bets in this topsy-turvy, unpredictable industry go, it’s a banker: of all the motor shows on the global calendar, the Tokyo exhibit is always the barmiest. Although the Chinese shows are rising in importance – and amusement value – there’s something peculiarly bonkers about the biannual Japanese bash held in downtown Tokyo. So strange is the exhibition at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba City to westerners, that you don’t bat an eyelid at talking cars, vehicles with feelings, or cars designed for dogs.
Jag designers light up London’s Clerkenwell Design Week
Mon, 02 Jun 2014Clerkenwell Design Week might not mean much to car designers more used to motor shows like Tokyo or Geneva. But the five-year-old event is fast becoming a fixture in the broader design calendar, and has been sponsored by Jaguar for the past four years for good reason. In simple terms, Jaguar wants to be seen (and respected) beyond the automotive realm: "We want to connect with other designers and have our designers learn from designers in other fields," advanced design director Julian Thomson told Car Design News.
