No fair looking it up.

By the way, this is my second bike.

Nope,, not mine.

Its a yamaha dual sport from the early '90s. Not many of them around the US. It was a European bike it believe...

[eusa1]

It was imported into the United States for only two years, 1992 and 1993.

It was never a big seller in the United Kingdom but in Northern Europe sales were very strong. In 1996 Yamaha released the Mk2 TDM with updated bodywork and a 270 degree instead of a 360 degree firing order. This upgraded engine was first seen on the Japanese market in 1995, when Yamaha introduced the TRX850.

 

need any more clues?

It's a TDM 850. Those are nice bikes, never seen one in person, but heard great things about them. Also, the title of the photo gives it away.

There's one standing in my Shed. A Buddy of mine had it for two Years, then he lost it one Time and is now too scared to ride. He sold it cheap to one of my Drivers. They are Fun to ride and supply decent Power, but are very hard to work on. Mini-Battery(10Ah) is burried under the Tank, you need to loose the Radiator to change the Park Plugs, Air Box and Carbs are a Misery to get to. The 2nd Gen(900cc, 4TX Model) is worse in Maintainance Ara, but provide and even more Bike Fun and more Power.

Guess I better not let him ride my old IT400 then, huh!
