The Yamaha XV920R was introduced in 1981, along with the XV750 Virago. In addition to the larger engine displacement, it featured many technical and styling differences, aimed at European sport touring. The XV920R had a unique enclosed chain final drive, a large 8 inch diameter round headlamp, and a high-capacity sculpted fuel tank. 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 unit still unsold. The bike was also sold in Europe with 980 cc displacement, and called "TR1". European sales continued (with slight styling and color modifications) for several years.
