Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Nice looking bike, but really should have a USD front end to match the modern looks. Would give the bike a perfectly balanced appearance.

Shame it`s not up around 100bhp too but hey it`ll sell at that price.

That is shocking

Reminds me of these

Some nice touches on it but yes, that look has kinda been done to death by Yamaha recently on their newer models and it`s not one I particularly like to be honest.
Those wheels look super light and the rear shock mounting is innovative though.

Yeahhh, but can it be modded to within a millimetre of its life

Don't like it. Cheap suspension and no fairing. This is not a true successor of the TRX.

sounds like people dont like it for all the reasons they like the trx......weird

Fairing? Nah, more capacity? YEA!!!!! let`s see a full 998cc version or utilise the XTZ1200 basic motor with a close ratio box.

Be a trick set of wheels to a standard trx...looks like the standard rear caliper is used maybe,..silver spots up front,wonder where they came onto that idea ? good to see the external oil filter there in the front of motor too.

I pretty much like where they were going with it... I kind of wish they'd made this the MT-09 with bigger twin and USD front.

Loving these new generation short, stubby pipes.

You mean those quiet, catalysed, short, stubby pipes?

I really like it, and Yamaha have pitched it right so it'll appeal to newbies, commuters and supertwin racers

It's the right bike at the right time- Yamaha needed a small, relatively low powered, unimposing bike that wasn't an IL4 600 to compete with the Gladius 650 and ER6. Very few people would buy a brand new, larger cc TRX anyway despite what you all say - they didn't sell well when up against sportsbikes first time around and nothing has changed in the last fifteen or so years.

I would buy one of these new if I could afford it. As it goes, I might be able to afford one in ten years' time

Ya cannae beat CUBES lassie!
