The Trailfire was a mid-range machine for the masses. The flat seat with grab strap made carrying a passenger possible. The engine was the tried & true Kawasaki T1 series that had been used by other brands since the early 70s. However it still shared the lightweight chassis design with the Liquifire & Sportfire.
