YAMAHATDM 850 2000 - 2001

　　In 2000, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha TDM 850, a dual-sports motorcycle that packed the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous model without any modifications.

　　The TDM was a sport-touring motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha between 1991 and 2011. It was manufactured over three generations, including the TDM 850 MK1, TDM 850 MK2, and TDM 900, and was sold mainly in the European market, with a small amount sold worldwide.

　　In 1996, the maker introduced a revised TDM motorcycle, including several upgrades and improvements, such as a 270-degree firing order engine and an updated bodywork. In addition, the new engine was shared with the TRX 850 model as well as its transmission.

　　In the visual department, the 2000 model had standard features, such as a dual headlight system, a front cowl with a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and three-spoke lightweight wheels.

　　As for the power figures, the 2000 Yamaha TDM 850 had its heartbeat set by an 849cc four-stroke liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, boasting 77 hp at 7,500 rpm and 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm, pushing the motorcycle to 208 kph (129 mph).

　　From top speed to a complete halt, the bike relied on two 298 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
