    Anyone familiar with this style? Looks like standard XJ with unusual bodywork. There’s one here locally for sale that for me would be to rehab and flip.

    The Radian is a great bike , but used several existing Yamaha parts , Was closest to the XJ550 Seca as I recall was produced in 86-87 .

    Great bikes, very desirable for beginners so should be easy to flip.
    Also very capable ride for experienced

    The Radian is basically an XJ550 Maxim engine and frame, with all-new (for the machine) suspension and bodywork.

    An unsung hero in my book, chain drive, great styling. Yamaha reliable. I've always wanted one. I'd put on some USD forks, and Gazi shocks in the rear.
    Cheers, 50gary
