I would like to find a bike ca. 500 cm with a not-to-low seat, 1990 or
later.

Would like to outfitfit with windshield and crash bars.

Has Yamaha made anything like that?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Maybe not in that time period.
Earlier they made a 650 cc upright twin, kinda like a Triumph.
Or, there was the XS750 triple -not overwhelming powerful, but a fun
ride.
Let us know what you find.

Depending on your commute, I would recomment a VStar 650 Classic or
customer. Plenty of oomph for the highway and a pleasure to putt around the
countryside.

For longer treks or riding 2 up (as with 2 unskinny people) you may want to
consider going up to a Star 1100.
