Do we like?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0340217605
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.

Re: Do we like?

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.

Re: Do we like?
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.

Re: Do we like?
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.

Re: Do we like?
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!
Understeer - when you hit the fence with the front of the bike.
Oversteer - when you hit the fence with the rear of the bike.
Horsepower - how fast you hit the fence.
Torque - how far you take the fence with you.

Re: Do we like?
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 !

Re: Do we like?
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.

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

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.
