The Chris Skellern Collection 1989 Yamaha YX600 Radian Registration no. F280 HAK Frame no. JYA3LTE01LA009377 Engine no. 8LT-009877 Decried by some as a 'parts bin special', Yamaha's Radian was nonetheless a stylish and – arguably – very attractive motorcycle, albeit one that never (officially) made it to the UK. Looking very much like the Yamaha FZX750 Fazer's glitzy little brother, the Radian was powered by basically the same 598cc twin-overhead-camshaft fair-cooled four that also went into the XJ600 Diversion tourer and FZ600 sports roadster. According to Cycle World's 1986 review: 'The Radian is an excellent motorcycle, one that's versatile enough to perform superbly in just about any kind of street-riding scenarios, and it'll outhandle most anything but pure sportsbikes.' Yet another interesting Japanese motorcycle that was denied to the UK market, this Radian was imported from the USA and first registered in this country on 4th July 2015. The Yamaha was first registered to the vendor's company and is now registered to him personally. He has ridden the machine for around 1,500 miles since its restoration. Recently the fuel tank was repaired, lined and repainted and the carburettors were ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt. The current odometer reading is 17,770 miles. Accompanying documentation consists of DVLA correspondence; a V5C Registration Certificate; three old MoTs (most recent expired January 2020); and a quantity of invoices and list of parts used in the Radian's restoration. Offered with key Footnotes: All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. AUCTION INFORMATION & GUIDE FOR BUYERS Please see the Auction Information and Guide for Buyers at the top of the main sale page (Motorcycles Online - The Summer Sale) for all pertinent information regarding bidder's obligations, viewing, bidding, payment, post-sale collection & transportation. REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTE To request a UK or European Motorcycle shipping quote visit Moving Motorcycles. To request an International Motorcycle shipping quote visit Shippio. To request a Memorabilia and Spares shipping quote visit Mail Boxes Etc - Milton Keynes or Alban Shipping. BUYER'S PREMIUM The Buyer's Premium for this Lot is 15%+VAT on the first £500,000 of the Hammer Price, and 12%+VAT on the balance thereafter. Lot to be sold without reserve.
