Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Thought I had bought this recently but was pipped at the post for £1770. (ebay auction) item 252490530799
It was previously owned from new by timtrix. It had been in an accident and was missing tank seat fairing and discs, but was otherwise good with Dymag wheels. Mikuni 40 flatslides, Nitron shock and gold valves. Would have made a great track bike.
Anyone off here got it?
Dave

looked like a good purchase.

Does this mean you are pining for the trx back Dave?

Got all excited for a moment, been out today and put a deposit on Ducati 749S, so that should keep me amused for a while.
Keeping the triumph missile for a while too. Going to decide which i like best then sell one. Suspect i'll keep the ducati.
all the best, Dave
PS will be at Rockingham on 1st Sept, then Anglesey Coastal on 9th Sept.

I saw it Dave, I too wonder who got it. The wheels alone would cost you 2K to buy!

I thought it would have been bought mainly for the wheels. They weren't new and the front had a ding. Difficult to know what the used value of the wheels would be, they are so rare for a trx. I didn't want it that bad but I went to £1720, it sold for £1770. Would have made a great cafe/track bike.
I sold my old one for £1800 and couldn't see it being worth more than that.
Moved on now, new toy to play with. The full termi system plays a nice tune!
Dave

The eBay add for this TRX started with a £1200 buy it now price.. I guess things changed along the way!

Damn, wish you hadn't told me that, I hadn't seen it until it was bid on so never saw the BIN.
Would have been a great buy at £1200

Dave we might be looking at Cadwell on Monday 3rd October if you fancy it?

I've already been to Cadwell 4 times this year so far. However haven't ridden the Ducati there yet. I'll see how I get on with it tomorrow at Rockingham.
There is a road bike only day at Donington on 3rd Oct which looks better for me. I prefer the road bike days now, they are a bit more relaxed.
Dave

I would have to put a fake number plate and headlight stickers on my bike to get on!

Are you booked for 3rd oct at cadwell??

I am!

and the 2nd, although it is in the novice group for the sunday. I am hoping to get a space in the inters as the day goes on

I am planning to ride up on monday to see some other folk, either on the Ducati or maybe Red Bmw F800S. Not doing trackway. Say hello if you see me.
Dave

did you get up in the end?

it was a great day. I am looking at maybe one more day at cadwell on Sunday 30th october if you fancy it?
