The Yamaha Motor Co. was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German made DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events starting a long tradition of achievement that goes on to this day in Moto GP. The TRX850 twin was launched to compete with Ducati and even copied their trellis style frame layout.
This 1996 TRX850, being offered at no reserve, was part of a large franchised dealers stock who upon closure took everything home and mothballed them in his barn. First registered in 1996, the speedo only reads 11924km so obviously it obviously didnt see much use before being stored away for a number of years. The bike is in nice standard trim and comes supplied with a current V5C.
