High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yamaha RD500LC is a high-performance, two-stroke sports motorcycle, also known as the RZ500 in Canada and Australia. A lightened but detuned version known as the RZV500R was developed for the Japanese home market.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yamaha TRX is an 849 cc two-cylinder parallel twin motorcycle, manufactured by the Yamaha Motor Company of Japan to compete with the 900cc Ducati SuperSport V-twin. (The TRX's tubular trellis frame echoes that of the Ducati). The TRX motor is derived from the Yamaha TDM850, but the bike itself is Yamaha's first big twin sportsbike of the modern era and as such has no direct predecessor. The TRX was intended to cash in on the 90's craze for big twin sportsbikes of the type first made popular by Ducati, and mimicked in that decade by Honda and Suzuki. The TRX's biggest disadvantage was its 'parts bin' development, with a modified TDM parallel twin engine instead of a V twin, FZR forks and...
