Not that I can afford one any time soon, but are those models all available here in the US? That 144 EN lloks like it would be a lot of fun :D
-
Coop, Yes all the models are available here in the states. The very cool thing about TM is that you can customize the bike right from the factory!
Want an 18" rear wheel? No problem. Want to change the gear ratios in the transmission, with a combination mx/enduro? No problem.
They are definitely the Ferrari of dirt bikes... if you look at what you get for your money, these end up being cheaper than a Japanese bike. Most really fast racers (okay let's admit it, even slower racers.. lol) replace a bunch of stuff right after they buy their bike. Some put lighter hubs, with stronger wheels. Billet triple clamps, new exhaust system or dump big money into the engine to get it to go faster. The TM has all of that stuff stock!
So to clarify... they are a bargain!! ;D ;D
-
AGREED!!!
they are nice for sure. I would really think hard about one, if my Service KX250AF ever goes away
-
Sweet ;D
I like the rear guard being in Italian colours.
-

Well I had to sell a bike to buy a $1000 bike, so bargain is relative depending on your income :D. I will own one, but probably not for 3-4 years until I get back out of school and working steady again.
-
Wow, I'm going to have to get a 144.. once the toy fund allows.
-

I have to agree with John.
The TM is the first bike I have owned for years which i can not spend money on to make faster/stronger.
It saves countless hours on the internet looking for hop up parts. And lots of money :D
-
What else would you need in a bike? If I had the $ I would probably buy the 144 over the 150sx.

If I didn,t have 2 cr125,s , I would get a TM 125,is the Ohlins fork an option yet ? It crazy how many street legal bikes they have, that would be awesome to here a pack of 125,s going down the street, instead of a pack of Harleys like around here.

It's pretty common sight here in Finland to see 16 year old kids ride 125 2 stroke enduro bikes in the street. KTM 125EXC with supermoto tires is pretty popular here among the kids.

booooohhhgggg

Ill have a 300mx thanks, i have only ever seen 2 TM's in my life one was a 2001 250 mx and i saw a 2010 250 mx earlier this year at an event, they are so much nicer looking in the flesh and they sound beautiful too with that factory exhaust system...

Ohlins is an option
Ok thanks how much extra for the Ohlins fork. Anyone know the price of a 125 or 144 thanks.
-
Here is the price list for the TM bikes. Some of the options are listed at the bottom.
Hope this helps.

Ok thanks John. That,s a decent price on the demo bikes and the new bike prices are good also. There,s some cool videos on the site also, I liked what Ken had to say comparing a TM and cr125, the TM,s forks sound like there pretty good and it sounds like it handles awesome too, he said like the honda. I think the Tm would go through whoops better,than the cr because the TM looks a little bit longer which is perfect, that,s my only gripe about the cr is that it should be an inch or so longer to track through whoops better.
-
I like there prices, with the dollar rate at the moment i would save heaps i think as long as freight wasnt too much, and whatever else customs tried to slug me for it.
-
Hey Scotty. The aussie importers have specials on remaining '10 models.
You have to ring them for a price.

Thats a pretty good price ay, wonder what a KTM's worth? I bet ya wouldnt get one for that sort of money..
Did you buy your TM new Kiwi?
-
No I didnt.
I am too cheap :D
It was about 18 months old.
I was actually looking for a Gas Gas but i saw this and it was that cheap i couldn't pass it up.
Best thing i ever did ;D
-
At this stage i dont think i could afford a new bike, i keep lookin out for TM's but never see any 2nd hand ones for sale, theyre very rare around these parts :(
I did see one for sale but it was a 250f and had engine dramas, if it were a smoker though i would have snapped it up ;)
