Yamaha TRX 850 Manual
The TRX850 used a new version of the TDM850 engine in a steel-tube trellis frame with sportsbike suspension and half-fairing. The parallel twin engine received an altered firing order, with a new 270° crankshaft intended to give the TRX the syncopated sound and character of a V-twin design. It is not a massively powerful motor, producing just 59kW (79bhp), but is sufficient for a middleweight sports twin. The chassis is rather low-tech in places though, and doesn't have the class of the Italian designs it echoes.
