Re: [ST] Nighthawk 650 vs Yam Radian

["Eric Mann" <eric91z@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, as someone that has owned an '84 Nighthawk 650, I have nothing but
good to say about it.  Shaft drive was very smooth, plenty of power, very
comfortable.  Would love to have another one around just to hop on sometimes
or would like to find one for the wife to start riding on.

Having said that, I have like the looks of the Radian, and even more so
would love to find an old Fazer to ride around on.  Can not comment beyond
that on the Radian.
