It's not a seat. It's a mount for the tail pack

I assume it's like a TDM motor with a 90deg crank, i.e. the pistons don't go up and down together (or at 180deg like some) but one is 90deg ahead of the other. The result is that the firing intervals are the same as a common crankpin 90deg V-twin like the SV and the feel is pretty much the same. They usually have at least one balance shaft to deal with the effects of the 90deg crank.

TDM here


Nice bike, something different.

I remember them doing that when they first came out.
Its a cool idea compact engine but good power delivery in one box

Ah yes the TDM predecessor Brilliant bikes and this is a stunner as well!!

If you ever want to upgrade it the FI 900 from the TDM fits like a glove

thats interesting to know

When you look at the r125 pillion seat you can see yamaha havent changed them much, lol

think its a 270 degree crank in this, so not quite the same as early tdm, but 900 tdm does use the 270. I think

My brother has one of these out in Oz - he really likes it.

Thats a pretty thing, I pass one regularly, parked up on the road, when out on my travels.
Same colour, just a lot more battered!

stunning condition for its age, a credit to its previous owner.

Have to meet up at Bently one week so I can have a good look at it
