They've got a full line of 2 strokes also. I wish they could get a better dealer network for the US.

the only US/Canada dealer I've heard of is...

Barker Bros. Cycles
3176 Old Clayburn Road
Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. V2S4H3

telephone: 604-853-1333
fax: 604-853-1336

the price on a new 250F (9,799.00) 450F (9,899.00)

from TM(s) US price list, $100.00 more for a 450 doesn't sound right to me...still up there in price.

I dont think I would just drop $10,000 to experiment, and see if i like it though.
Unless there was rave reviews across the industry.

It is a nice looking bike but would anyone really want to invest in an off-brand bike? Cagiva dirt bikes anyone?

I've been trying to get info on the machine, it gets great reviews from riders and articles.

I seen the 450 at MIni O's.. I talked to the guy and then the last few days they were gone.. not for sure what happened to them. Looked like a good bike but would love to have seen one on the track.

? Most MotoGP riders use MX to train and just for fun. This vid has terrible music but it has stills of a good number of the MotoGP grid riding a charity event in the off season. Search Motocross Dei Campioni for actual video of it.

The dude on the 250f rides it like a 450..... and that track looks like someone's backyard track. Not a good reference point for what the bike can do.

For what its worth I talked to ping about testing tm's aprillai's exc, and he said the manufacturers just arnt interested in setting aside units for american mags to test.

maybe you didnt notice but that 250 f has a headlight and that micheluz guy is an enduro racer in europe and usually enduro guys suck at jumping (dont ask me how i know this) still i would love to get my paws on a 144 en smoker or a 200 gas gas. some day...
