If i had a dealer near me i would go for the TM instantly. It's only 1 letter difference from my favorite bike brand so it's not that big of a jump. :p

Don't let that stop you.
The nearest dealer to me is 700km away.

Yep mines about 500km away too, in the next town.
No problem though they've got good online shop and overnight delivery.

I try to ride 3 times a week (if my bike is finished) and i realy can't live with the fact that i can't ride a weekend because i need some kind of stupid part for my bike.
I got like 3 dealers  near me that have KTM parts in stock, so with KTM i'm 100% sure i have the part taht i want to in less then 30 minutes.

As the old,old saying goes-"Honda races,Honda wins.Honda loses,Honda quits"
The TM's look cool,it's a shame about the electronic PV though.
I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

Are any of these street legal? Looks like the 530 SM has turn signals.

Over here, all TM EN (enduro) models are road legal, just like all the other enduro offroad bikes.
But it really all depends on where YOU live, and how your local state laws (or your country laws) are.

@Swapper: The reason KTM is so dominante over TM is the same reason Honda dominates; sheer numbers!. The more riders on a particular brand, the better the odds of them being better riders. If you put 1000 10th through 40th place riders on a 6 year old Kawasaki and RC on the latest Orange/Blue/Red/Yellow machine, odds are the championship winner would be green. It's just numbers.

@Premixed: Although I'd scrap the production rule if I were king, It is a simple rule to meet. You give a bike and a check for roughly $3000 to the AMA to homologate the bike and it's in, period. The problem is that the (non-big 5)manufacturers are not doing it and leaving it to the teams who what to ride those bikes. What I think is stupid (on the part of the AMA) is not not accept the FIM Homogation. FIM is, after, the parent of the AMA! That is like saying it is legal to ride motorcycles in Florida - just not in Miami! TM is according to the website not homologated in the FIM, but we know the list is incomplete because Leok does pretty well on one!
