Description
The TRX 850 was designed to compete in the market with the Ducati 900SS V-twin, whose tubular trellis frame it mimicked and it was deemed to be a Ducati with Japanese reliability.
Motorcycle News described the TRX as "the best-kept secret in motorcycling" and a "forgotten gem" which bore comparison with the 270° Norton Commando 961. The TRX produces less power than sports 600's of the same era, but it’s much gruntier and more satisfying to use thanks to that twin cylinder character and is a cracking and sporty motorcycle with tons of character. It's stable, handles neutrally and feels like a proper sports bike.

This absolutely stunning Yamaha TRX 850 was built in 1996 and first registered in the UK on 1st May 1999 and has only covered 29, 407 miles from new!
The bike is in exceptional condition throughout and has been fitted with a Flat Bar conversion and KJM Duke small front Fairing with Halogen Lights. We have just had the bike MOT'd (12/ 09/ 19) and serviced and it sounds absolutely awesome, handles superbly and is a very light (190Kgs) and comfortable bike to ride.
The bike is clear on all HPi registers and the National Mileage Register and there is a copy of the MOT history in the file.
If you are looking for one of the best TRX 850's on the market, this has to be a serious contender as its a real gem!
