| Thanks for the welcome guys.
I to had the advert just about formulated for a goodbye party, even test rode a Mille, Firebolt, and a speed triple, but had a good chat with myself and now love it to bits.
Hants on the 10th, I will be there.

I can't say if the TRX is as much fun as a TL as I have never ridden one, but I had 13500 fun miles out of it in single year. Easy to maintain, approx 75-80 BHP, red line is at 8500, although an inline twin It would still shake itself to pieces if you tried to wind it on in the wrong gear. That said, stick it in 3rd at about 3 and a half and you could treat it as a twist and go to the red line. I went around GB on it in 9 days and 3500 miles. Went to spain and back. BT020 x3 rear & 2 x the same at the front, oil every 3,000 ( mind you some burn a litre per 1,000 depending on the rider) and it never missed a beat. Front suspension is poo as are the brakes and the rear is not much better, but parts are ubiquitous from other Yams and usually slot/bolt straight on, R6 calipers and the like.
Yup - they are great fun..................but it aint no DUKE.  |
