Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

...that i finally came across a stock TRX, here in my town. I think it was the first time 'cause i've only seen a full modify one few months back...

Just to let you guys know hahaha and yeah, the sound is just great! and it looks nice too

cheers

So when you getting one

They sound even nicer with aftermarket cans on ... altho a touch loud when those little bits in the middle jump out and hide on a shelf at the back of the garage

hahaha good question, but for now i'm keeping my honha hornet haha i'm just having to much trouble getting the documents with a power limit (for now i can only drive bikes with less then 25kw/34hp or a hp/weight ratio of 0.16hp/kg...) and i'm not going to do that again, it's a pain in the ass! and the 850 trx can't be "changed" in the docs... they wouldn't believe it

fair enough when do you get your freedom to ride a real bike?

If you make it down to Jerez for the MotoGP next spring I'll let you sit on mine (depending on b/f rebuilding his bike in time!!)

just because the papers say it's limited it doesn't mean that it is

well, i can drive fullpower in two years time i need a three years licence and 21y old to be able to ride "free".... lucky me the guys at honda don't have much trouble changing the power in the papers, 'cause i would be fukd!

i'm not thinkin' about going to Jerez next year, too expensive for me hahaha

i would prefer to keep the money and go out on a trip to the hornet's day at the Ace cafe in october

Is the TRX still in production? I feel like a fool asking in this forum but my total knowledge of the bike is from Max - was it ever released in the US?

from what i've seen the bike production stoped in later 90's, don0't know exacly the year... am i correct?!

First produced in 1996, we just celebrated the 10th Anniversary by getting t-shirts done with the now useless webaddress on them Not sure when they stopped production, think it was 1999?

For us here in Japan the run was from 1995~99, so for me it's 11yrs.

No Gary, it was never released in the US. Shame too, it may have found a following and stayed in production. It never did get much over here because shortly after it was released Honda and Suzuki came out with their 1000cc V twins in aluminum frames. Japanese are goofy about gadgets and don't know a good thing when they ride it...

It did get a warm reception in Europe and Australia which is why there are still so many avid fans years after it went out of production.
