The TDM 900 looks like the 850 but is a major redesign, with an enlarged 897 cc fuel-injected engine, new six-speed gearbox, aluminium frame and restyled bodywork. The aluminium frame is about 6 kg lighter than the old steel unit. It is torquey but not as peppy as some rivals, with praised brakes and chassis.
