I'm getting to buy my first bike and was looking at a 89 Radian. I'm 5"10, 225lbs. Is this bike big enough for me around town and on the highways around town??

I just bought a 1988 Radian. I'm 5'10" and one a good day hit 165. For me the bike feels right and handles well and has plenty of torque. Some people claim it has too much torque. Unfortunately, the real test is to spend some time with the bike if the seller is willing to let you. If you leave something as collateral or if he follows you one another bike, you might be able to take it for a ride. Good luck.

Jason, I have a1986 radian and weigh180. It will do the job but think you would be happier on liquid cooled bike a little larger for your size. I know it gets hot in Texas.
