I am seriously considering adding this bike to the stable (2019 TM EN 144). I was a spectator at the 1994 ISDE in Oklahoma, the Italians were riding these bikes and I was overwhelmed with how crisp and awesome the exhaust note was. I have wanted one ever since, but until recently availability of the bikes and parts was limited at best.
Another Italian princess
Get Dirty Dirk Bikes out of CA has them. I've ordered Beta parts from, nice folks.

I ordered one today!! 8)
Congrats! Can't wait to see another fine Italian princess dressed in blue!
Congrats!!!
Had never heard of TM before, did some looking last night and they look super.
Made in Italy, how can you go wrong.
TM won the E2 World Enduro Championship, and the World Enduro manufactures championship this year. TM won the E1 World Enduro Championships in 2016 and 2017 as well. TM got their start with world class two stroke racing kart engines. The 144 is not a bored 125 engine, it does not share the same piston or crankshaft with the 125. The pioneers of TM (1976), Claudio Flenghi and Francesco Battistelli (or rather "Mr Engine" and "Mr Frame") are two childhood friends of the same age who have spent a large part of their lives in direct contact with the world of motorcycles. All of this is just too cool for me to over look. I am fanatical, its great to have passion, and admire those who live theirs. ;)
Sandhill, looks like Bonnie needs to go back to Italy for another fact finding mission!
Getting closer to getting it home. The dealer sent me the "TM in a box" photo Friday!
Did you get that from County Cycle ATV in WI?
OOOOooo! Awesome! Ive been wanting to see one of these since reading a few reviews and seeing Dave go all in on the TM bikes.
