I'll even add a reason why it would be a good idea. Feel out the current market, and then consider the bikes that TM offer. A lot of similarities. Also, anyone who currently rides a jap bike, but wants to ride "something else" instantly looks at KTM. The TM offers a much better bike in my opinion, using an alloy frame, and a linkage rear suspension. I know many will say that the PDS is as good, but I have never liked it, and probably never will. I also prefer the alloy frame, the way the feel on the track and the feedback they offer. Also, it is much easier to keep the frame looking new, and to clean up upon sale. Add to that, the bikes are as good as buying a factory race bike straight out of the crate. Built purely to win races, no compromises like you see on the bikes of the "Big 4". Add to that your ability to market the bikes with strong credentials to an ever growing audience, as well as offer service above and beyond 99% of motorcycle dealers in the US. Lastly, and maybe one of the best reasons, is that they would be perfect bikes to launch a serious race campaign on for next year. Seems like a no brainer really !!

Sounds interesting to me.A TM will likely be my next-so long as I figure the old crippled body has a couple years left in it :)

In England, there are a few dealers about, but most are say a suzuki shop for example, and will order a TM and give back up if you ask for it, but the bikes are works of art! and they are getting more popular over here, and for a serious racer it works out cheaper to buy a TM, than to buy a jap bike and trick it out to the level of the TM, if there are very few dealers in the usa then you could be onto a great idea, or it could fail due to people not wanting to buy an expensive european bike theyve never heard of, but good luck and hopefully you go ahead with it  ;D

Thanks for the feedback guys! We have been considering it for a while, and recently the oppurtunity came along. We have some meetings this weekend to try and work out the details, and we are waiting on a call from our leasing agent to see if the spot we already have leased is doable for a dealership/parts.
We should know for sure by Monday. :)

Yeah, luckily with the economy being the way it is and TM being a smaller company the dealer buy-in is doable.

TM's are great bikes, works of art. Top notch, also in performance.
In western europe, many TM dealers have emerged.
Spare parts are usually delivered within 36hrs, if not in stock.
In belgium, the TM 300EN was voted as enduro-bike of the year.
I believe MXA will do a full test on the TM's this season, as they have a good
relationship with the new US importer. Do it!!! TM's are great!
