TM Motorcycles

[Kevin]

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.

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.
