Its a state thing bro. I can plate that in Washington state np. I can plate a bike with a title that read OFF-ROAD or CLOSED COURSE. You just need all the stuff that bike has... signals, plate bracket, brake light, 24/7 run headlight etc, normal stuff.
TM's are awesome bikes. Real trick from the start and can customize it and add stuff you would already want to add.
I can't look away from the KTM's now that they have the FI/oil injection. For the weekender like me who sometimes goes from seal level one weekend to 4k feet the next, sick setup.
The Shop
I agree on the new KTMs.
Colin, those are street legal in most countries except the USA, but like Kott0n said, it's kind of on the state level.
But yes, it's a state by state thing, and to a degree a city by city thing. I wouldn't have a problem registering that bike here in rural Georgia, but an hour south into Atlanta and I'd probably have a problem.
Last weekend in St Wendel Germany
Very cool but expensive. Really a niche bike. I rode the 144 mx. Its was fast and handled well. All their bikes are tall.
He sold a 125 and a 250 to a couple of brothers. They do pretty well on them. Kinda cool to see them out on the track since you don't see that many.
The older brother is pretty darnn fast on his 250 and seems to like it.
My brother and I have owned several TMs.
Love em.

Call sent, but I imagine he's riding or fishing on the last day of a long weekend. He texted me this morning, early, so I assume he's not passed out drunk in that back of his pickup. That, or he never went to bed.

Speak to Ralf Schmidt, he's very informative. Also like previously stated, you can buy really good accessories for them.

I'm not going to say they are the best bike on the track but they're as good as anything else out there that I've ridden. Where they stand out and keep me as a return customer is the quality. There's nothing else even close. They're a step above any factory edition KTM, and they come truly race prepped from the factory. Everything is greased and every bolt has assembly lube on it and nothing needs upgrading. Just set up your suspension, put on your favorite bars and go. They come with Mitas tires which some guys don't care for, they're not my favorite but I don't dislike them enough to change them out right away.
They're made to be extremely durable and bulletproof. Hard coated billet clutch baskets, copper beryllium valve seats, billet connecting rods, hard coated cranks, hand lapped and matched cases, zinc plated bolts, tons of small bits are machined billet aluminum. They're expensive but if you really dissect them, they should be a lot more expensive than what they are.
Parts are easy to get and priced competitively, with the odd exception here and there.
The biggest drawback to owning a TM is resale can be difficult, they suit tall guys better, and there's not a wealth of setup tips to find amomgst the small North American owners network. There's not a lot of aftermarket available for them either but almost any aftermarket part would be a downgrade from OEM anyways.
nytsmaC is right on the resale though. Mine was for sale forever without any interest. I ended it up trading it for an '06 YZ250 plus a little cash.
The 300f bridges the gap nicely, it feels agile almost like the 144 but has a cheater motor. It can lug, it has an unbelievable top end/overrev, it hooks up like it's on velcro and it doesn't wear you out. For. 2-stroke guy it may be a little vanilla to some, but I feel like it's the perfect race bike for the vet class.
I'll keep a 2-stroke in the stable in case it ever gets boring, too soon to tell. I think with the way it handles it won't be an issue, it rewards spirited riding and that's what keeps things fun for me.. and why I generally don't care for 450s.
