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 MISS YOU, DON

I've ridden that bike a couple of times and I quite like it.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.
