Can't believe this is basically a 20 year-old TRX850:

that looks class

They handle pretty good from stock, so that must stick to the road like sh1t to a blanket.

so where are the fairings ,swinging arm and forks from

Think the front end is R1, no idea on the fairing or swing-arm. He's obviously put a lot of time in.

i always liked the trx.yamaha are great for parts compatability between models the swing arm etc could be yzf ,they virtualy bolt straight on.i have seen early fz750 upgraded with r6/thunder ace parts that look amazing to

It looks superb. Hats off. I'd be great to ride.

Not a half bad photo either.

I've never ridden a TRX. Done a few miles on a TDM 850 and it was horrid. The transmission snatch was a booger. Is it the same engine?

yes same motor.i think the tdm was tuned for more midrange
