As my learned mate Jarse has said, the TRX is a parallel twin designed to sound and look like a Ducati 900SS from the mid 90's. It wasn't a bad bike but suffered because there was quite a few V-twins coming out from Honda and Suzuki that were their own bike as opposed to a blatant Ducati rip off.
The TRX is based on the old TDM and there were no real flaws on that bike. A bit bland if you're really looking for faults.

If it's the V thing you're after, get a Ducati (and those who know me will understand why I say that) or have a look at the SV series from Suzuki. But you didn't hear me say that.

Hey Jarse, I still remember what Jarsephine said after you suggested a Honda after riding my lil Ducati.
