Tom,
The TDM 850 was an offshoot of Yamaha's own 750 Super Ténéré, and was one of the early so-called "ADVENTURE" bikes.
It has a DOHC, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine with more valves in 2 cylinders than our XS11 has in 4 cylinders (the TDM has 5 valves per cylinder).
Yamaha only brought the 850 to U.S. shores for 2 years (1992-93), but it lived on in Europe, eventually becoming the TDM 900.Marco
Current bikes:
1979 Yamaha XS Eleven Special (SF)
1979 Honda CBX
2002 Kawasaki ZRX1200R
Rest in Peace, Don Glardon (DGXSER) 1966-2014

We had the TDM over here for two years. For all I know, they're still making them for Europe. Last I knew, it was a 900.Marty (in Mississippi)
