TRX's in USA
Hi guys & girls, I've been on here for a while now & can't remember seeing any postings etc from TRX owners in the US. (I may be wrong?)Does anyone know whether they got them over there or not?

The TRX was not officially imported to USA and AFAIK there are not any in North America

Re: TRX's in USA
I've spoken to a few parts suppliers in the past from the US. Most of them have not even heard of the TRX

A guy in Florida had one a few years ago, but he sold it AFIAK. He had an impressive collection of bikes in a purpose built, air-conditioned "facility".
Rubber side down, Red side up is my preferred riding style.

Just imagine the aftermarket possibilities if it had been released there.

Re: TRX's in USA
There's at least one!!
When I put my TRX on ebay I had an e-mail from a guy in California who was interested in buying it.
After a bit of negotiation he ended up buying it and it was collected by a mate of his in the UK.
The guy paid me £900 for the bike and then was going to spend another £700 to ship it out to the States!!
Takes all sorts I suppose.

£1600 to get one in the good ole US of A! I dont think thats a bad price! Tha Aussies pay more than that!. Save your pennies, and be prepaired to use E-bay, prestige or what?

Re: TRX's in USA
Make that 3 (or 4)?
1. The unit AHTHUD sold to California.
2. A red unit in that was in New York.
3 /4. I'm the new owner of a blue (previously black) unit that was in Florida. I'm tempted to say it is the unit Red Rex mentioned but there's no way this one was kept in a climate controlled space.
2 & mine can be seen here: http://raresportbikesforsale.com/?s=trx ... mit=Search
Anyone else?

I doubt there's a handful of TRX in the US....shame on Yamaha for not releasing in USA. The perfect stablemate for my 900SS/SP and SS800.

Guess that means California needs to come to the East Coast if we get together...

Re: TRX's in USA
Planning to attend the Gathering of the Nortons @ Washington's Crossing, Pa on 28 April. See http://www.dvnr.org/ Last time I was there my TRX created a small stir. Two would probably blow some minds.... PM me if you need more info.
