Motorcycle Repair: Yamaha bikes from the 1980s, luggage compartment, yamaha bikes

Question
I have a rather odd question for you.  I'm writing a novel set in 1990.  One character is a man in his early 30's, not terribly successful financially, who rides a Yamaha motorcycle.  It was made in the early 1980's and is definitely not top of the line.  But because it's his only transportation, and he sometimes rides it for long distances, it needs to have a windscreen and some sort of luggage compartment (either built-in or added).  What model would he be likely to own, and what would the luggage compartment look like?

Thank you!

Answer
Paula,You are correct but I hope I can give you some useful tidbit of information. A lot of the XS650's were sold in this era. Try looking at some of the bikes on the web at "Bikez.com" it shows lots of bike from different makers from 1970 to current models. I hope this will help.
