Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

HI All, it was hard to see my third TRX go, but my mind had been made up to change to a SV1000S... the lucky new owner of my pristine black TRX travelled 5 hours from south coast NSW to buy her...he gave me a fistful of dollars and left with a huge smile on his face...I am sure he will pop up on the forum. I am not going to leave forum, but I would just like to thank Jak, Phuk, Kev and Dicky and everyone else who contributes...I have learnt a bundle and had a lot of laughs...thanks Rick54

You'll be back as soon as you realise what a bad handling, characterless POS the SV1000 is

And DOWN on useable power compared to the earlier TL1000`s too, a compromised machine in many ways.
Sound good on race cans though.

As I said before.....You'll be sorry!!!

Just rode newly purchased 2006 SV1000S from Brisbane to home ( 930 kilometres ) and so far so good. Its black with only 7000 klms ( 6000 yesterday when I bought it )...fairly comfortable ride...will post a photo soon...and I am missing the TRX!

I did the SV 1000 replacement of the TRX over 4 years ago, Yeah ok more power etc with the SV, but not as much natural enjoyment, which is why I went back to a 1999 Trixie.
