Comments on: BMW going retro with their new F800S http://www.helmethairblog.com/entries/bmw-going-retro-with-their-new-f800s/ All about motorcycles. Lots of bike reviews. Race, touring, cruiser or chopper, who cares as longs as it has two wheels and an engine.

So I don't see that as a problem. Why not just get a used TRX? Hmm... you might be right. But the design of the F800S is a bit more eye pleasing than the TRX, I think, but just a bit. One of the lads just got a used TRX and seems very happy with it, so I guess you could be right. Can't wait to try one to see if it has something special that sets i apart from the TRX.

Simply insert left glove into fairing and grab radiator hose...great for motorway journeys on cold days. :) I'll be interested to have a look at the F800, but why buy one when you could just get a used TRX? With carbs rather than EFI, you know it's going to fuel better. It also has a manual fuel tap, so you don't miss the little fuel light and end up walking to the nearest gas station. So I'm not sure what modern bells and whistles could improve the TRX, except that the Rotax valvetrain is probably more durable than the Yamaha 5-valver.

Its only a shame that Yamaha don't make a TRX900 using the injected 900 from the TDM. Nice blog, keep it up I am a TRX rider from Australia, and I agree with your comment on the tribute to the TRX.
