have you seen my TRX???

Post by [JP] » Mon Jun 13, 2011 9:53 pm

Evening gents!!!

Long time no see....
bit cheeky coming back after all these years (surprised my log in still works!!)... but I need your help...

few years ago I made the stupid mistake of selling my Ex-Harris Performance TRX850... :( :( I loved that bike and recently found loads of pics of her and I want her back.....

the problem is, I dont have a clue where the bike is now...
checking on the internet, the bike is still registered, its Tax'd and insured, so she is still about...

maybe the new owner is a member here now? or someone from here seen the bike somewhere?

here's some pics

Hey fella, welcome back!

Not seen your bike posted up on here in the members rides section or anyone say they own a Harris bike.

Also not seen it sell on ebay or biketrader.

Seen a couple of Marlboro bikes sell, but they werent yours with the enduro fairing or six-pot brakes.

Good luck.

yep... 4 years!! naughty me!! hahaha

I saw one of the Marlboro ones for sale on eBay not long ago... was off a guy in Reading, he is/was a member here, think the user was willydinkydonktonk..or something like that lol ??? at the time he even helped me doing the forks on my TRX...

The guy selling the TRX on ebay had bought the bike from him.....

How am I gonna find my old TRX???? I just hope whoever has it hasnt completly changed the bike...
I even sold her with the old log book registered to Harris Performance and the catalogue where the bike was featured

I have a video off the bike on youtube... starts with a view of the front headlight and then zooms out, goes round and I start it and you can hear the exhaust note..

is that the same you saw?

bollocks!! I think the bike has been sold again in 2008, as I found this topic here on the forum..

clearly you guys are talking about my TRX850, when the guy I sold it to, decided to sell her on ebay.... trust me, its a genuine ex-harris bike..

anyone can remember anything else on this topic? I see some have emailed the seller at the time, any chance you might still have his contact?

Not sure why but photo 0022 displays 6 photos & trx is one of them also you can see another photo on the manxphotosonline web site if you scroll to vmcc tt lap photo number 380811-087! someone somewhere snapped a cracker of my trx doing a jump accross ballaugh bridge but i cant find it.I had the bike dyno`d & set up by kenny at ace motorcycles in bude ! i ftted a factory pro jet kit with ti neddles & stainless amulsion tubes, the bike shows 81bhp at rear wheel! she really ripped across the mountain & sounded like a propper motobike !8)

Seriously, you don't know who Harris are?

Theyve been involved in GP and making some frankly amazing frames / bikes kits (Harris Magnum) over the years.

Google Harris performance and you will find
