The '''[[Yamaha]] XV920R''' was introduced in 1981, along with the [[Yamaha XV750|XV750 Virago]]. In addition to larger engine displacement, it featured some distinctly "un-Virago-like" styling and technical features. This model was geared toward European-style sport touring. | The '''[[Yamaha]] XV920R''' was introduced in 1981, along with the [[Yamaha XV750|XV750 Virago]].

In 1981 (XV920RH) it was offered only in candy metalflake maroon. In 1982 (XV920RJ), the only color offered in the US was silver with black trim. US sales were discontinued after 1982, with many units still unsold. The rear end styling, with its swingarm-mounted fender (now commonplace), drew much criticism. The bike was also sold in Europe with 980 cc displacement, and called "TR1". European sales were more successful, and continued, with slight styling and color modifications (including a switch to more 'mainstream' rear-end styling), through 1986. | In 1981 (XV920RH) it was offered only in candy metalflake maroon.
