I am sure it does run great. It just isn't going to have the torque on the bottom/mid that it would as a 165/175. That is just a fact. It might make more ultimate power but it won't make it where a fat, old, slow guy wants it. Don't get me wrong I have been drooling over TM's for years and am pretty close to buying an EN144 but I need to be able to get more torque out of it or I will just keep my current 165 as my go to bike.
Haha, I called him and sent him a text message yesterday. No response. I bought my TC250 from him a couple years ago and spent some time with him at the Idaho city ISDE that last couple years. He is a funny guy. Later,
anybody thought about a Fantic there's an importer in Canada they look badass and they have a 125 i bet Walt or Eric Gorr can make it a 150+
nope the 125 is done inhouse yes the 250/300 is a GG the strokers are yamaha fantic been around they can getter done when they want to
Has anyone used the TM's for cowtrailing, my info is that they are too hot blooded. With the new Husky's owner mistreatment of the workin man i'm on the hunt for a new brand. I've ridden the early 2000's 125 TM and they are unreal fast, all business. Aluminum frame could be a different feel, anyway for those of you who are in the know give us the scoop. Nothing costs too much if ya want it.
It will be interesting to see the results. I have a contact who has owned a couple of them, his opinion is that they are very well thought out and the handling is Euro and accurate. Very solid feedback but meant to be ridin quickly and he says very quickly for the 250 anyway to work right. A wicked combo. We will see what the Chillster has to say.
they have one a l/c 4t & a 125 4t and a buttloada 50s lotsa SM bikes http://www.kitzulimports.com/ http://www.fanticmotor.it/prodotti/specpart/index.php View: http://youtu.be/JV4feHhPgGU
Hey man this is the TM Racing thread (hahha). ( I have a love for Fantic Motor too, thread up a Fantic thread)
nooo what i really want is an Ossa anybody know squat on that???? dang i just hijacked the same thread twice
I'm SURE it has a bridged exhaust, I haven't seen a bridgeless smallbore since the mid-late 80's Honda CR's... You know way more on this Walt but I always thought the main stumbling block to boring a modern smallbore to beyound 58mm was the spacing on the head studs....the Husky has generous room with the studs placed much farther from the bore than on, say, a Honda CR. Someone with a TM144 needs to volunteer their cylinder for Walt to check out!! Making a TM 175 would be much easier IMO than a Husky 175, TM has already solved the problems of rod length, crankcase clearance and compression, and port floors that can make stroking a motor a real nuisance....
Can you guys imagine a TM175 ? LOL I know for a FACT their 2011 TM 250Mx it to much for me but a 175.......
the Fantic 125 is a GasGas engine FWIW... I love the 125mx model. Easy import to the US per Canadian importer so long as it is a competition/off road use only import.
