MoT’ed until 25th June 2011I brought her just over a year ago as a “winter hack” but instantly fell in love with her and did a mini-resto when the good weather finally arrived at the start of this year as I planned to keep her indefinitely.
Unfortunately circumstances change and I must go back to four-wheeled transport, now, meaning the Radian either sits around taking up space until further notice or is sold to free-up a bit of cash – I’m opting to free-up some cash !
She’s a good little bike – pretty darn nippy around town and can happily hold a solid 120mph (on a closed test-track, of course).
She’s relatively small so would suit both small and larger riders. I also found her incredibly comfortable (foot pegs aren’t too far back) and exceedingly well manoeuvrable so she would especially suit a novice rider, too.
As mentioned she had a mini resto over May / June this year.
The items that were covered were :
New Front and Rear Indicators,
New Battery,
New Horn,
New Tax Disc holder,
Professionally recovered seat,
New Clutch Cable,
New Renthal Handlebars
New Number Plate / all rear reflectors replaced,
Fuel Tank cleaned and properly sealed (I’d recommend this to anyone),
Oil Changed, New plugs and Caps (she will also come with a spare set of Caps and spare bulbs)
During the work all body panels were removed and treated to some fresh black paint and several layers of clearcoat. This wasn’t a professional job but I would describe it as a good-to-very good D.I.Y job.
Please note that as she has completed very few miles since this work was finished I have not yet sent the log-book to the DVLA to update the cover so it still states "Blue" - this will need to be done by the buyer but, as far as I know, can be done at the same time as the owner/keeper change.
She’s also had a recent Chain and Sprockets, has a very good back tyre. Front tyre is legal and will be good for a bit longer, yet. Also had new mirrors shortly after I got her as there weren’t any and I couldn’t get used to that !!
She’s a reliable starter, never left me stranded (except for a snapped clutch cable) and easily passed her last MoT with just two advisors – One being the front tyre (as mentioned above), the other being some exhaust gas leakage from the downpipes (but I’ve gone all over and I can’t see where there’s even a hint of a leak).
Other useless info :
She gets around 48 mpg around town – much higher on a run.
She was a Canadian import – apparently – I changed the clocks to MPH because the KPH ones irritated me !!
She’s always been garaged or, at very least, covered while in my ownership and has never been dropped by myself.

Damn she looks good . . . . To be honest there's a large part of me that's toying with pulling the auction and keeping hold of her . . . .
