Whilst skulking around evilBay I chanced across this modded TRX a mere 5-miles form my doorstep. I kinda like it but wonder if it'd look as good form all angles perhaps?

I particularly like the RS250 fairing, high mount pipes and the bellypan. I also think the red frame sets off the paint scheme nicely too.

Corners

Hmm, quite like that!

Don't like the fairing though, and the seat looks to be at a pretty steep angle, but an interesting front end conversion: not seen those forks used before.

Looks genuine and cared-for to me.

Stick a standard fairing back on, or 'fighter it and it'd be well nice.

Ah, red frame and white bodywork- the fastest colours

I think I quite like it, but I feel dirty for doing so. Kind of makes me think TZ250 bodywork would look good on the TRX though...

edit- I think the FZR1000 RU forks are very similar to the early YZF750 ones.

Touché!

Probly a cracking bike but doesn't do it for me. Some pics make the seat look to steep, some it looks ok ? Quite like the last ebay pic, stick a single round headlight & fly screen on, job done.
Oh & exhaust, brakes, clocks obviously.

the seat IS to steep mine was the same , it was OK for about 50 miles then it was just very uncomfortable,, i had to lift mine at the front by 25mm and weld some more brackets on ,,,ok now

Looks like a bastardized Multistrada at the front - doesn't do it for me..................

I like it very much!! The front fairing is the only thing that looks poxy.... but apart from that I like the angle of the seat and the matching exhaust angle VERY VERY NICE!

Seat angle might "look" good but a few miles riding sat on your own spud sack might alter your opinion ? & then you touch the brakes !

^^^^^^^^^ hes right ,,,mine was the same

Abarth? WTF yo...

Why not "Micra" or "Allegro" then?

Aside from that, I like it. Seat would be OK if someone wants a TRX track bike.

I quite like it too but would prefer it without the nose fairing.
As for the seat,it`s quite tame really,I`ve ridden some that would castrate you after twenty miles,some right radical,weird and wonderful things,that one doesn`t really look too bad,maybe all TRX owners are well endowed and therein lies the problem?
Lady owners are obviously advantaged further by being well endowed in that area,they`ll be like those kids toy arrow suckers.
