MT motox, n enduro bikes.

[tri boy]

Hi guys n gals,
I try not to gate crash this forum very often, as I am a average dirt/mx rider at the very best of my dreaming.
Anyhow, I'm just interested to know if anybody has ridden/competed on any TM (Italian?) models?
I won't be buying one, as it would be like putting a blind, dithering, Irish one armed paperhanger in a F18 fighter jet.
More interested in the quality/performance.
Cheers

anyones welcome here, as long as they dont make stupid comments that are completely irrelavant in an off road topic , even then those ppl are welcome, we just mock them.

as for MT, never heard of them myself!

so welcome to offroad!

Good looking kit, with all the quality bits fitted standard.
Just doing a bit of research for someone. Would like to hear any ride reports.
Thanks.

They have been reviewed in ADB mag, seem to get good write ups. A friend of a friend is getting a new 300, i'm looking forward to getting a ride on it.

oh right, TM, i havnt even seen a TM for about 10 years on the track! last time i did tho it seemed to boogey!

Like people have said they have all the good gear yet always seem to come last in the shoot outs. Also cost twice as much as most other bikes for parts. Resale also sucks.

Richard Henkleman at Topfun Motorcycle Accessories on Te Rapa Straight has one. It is also for sale. I think its a 4.5i

[tri boy]

Thanks for the input fulla's.

[cheese]

Aren't those 4.5i ones the spannish ones. Name starts with s ...... scorpia, sherpa something like that... Can't remember..

Seen a few TMs out and about. Like everything though, cause they aren't hugely popular here its a pain in the ass for parts and service. like say I want a new master cylinder for my CR - I got quoted $65 for an aftermarket one. Try to get that locally for a non Japper.

That pic kind looks a lot like a crf450 but in blue from the foot pegs forward the faring on the tank look like a complete copy.

A little bit of digging found this

That 530FBD street motard could be a fun commuter.
A bit more browsing fodder.
