My girlfriend bought me this '97 TM 250 Cross for my birthday, it runs great and I plan on tidying up and racing it in Midwest VMX's new EVO 5 class but I am wondering how many TM's of this era are still floating around out there.
The Shop
The Jackpiner had Marzocchi forks and an Ohlins shock. I remember those forks being way better than the WP 50mm that came out afterwards. And the Ohlins PDS shock was better than the WP, as well.
My 12 year old likes to worry kids on newer bikes at our local practice tracks here in the UK on his 1997 TM80. If it helps you the guys at TM UK have lots of parts for early TMs. That's a nice bike you have mate.
Here's what the 96' model looked like:
Something like that as a present - your lady seems cooler than cool.
Pit Row
Nice find on the blue one. The seat, sidepanels and rear fender look exactly like 94-98 KX's. You could do a Splitfire TM, lol!
Oem 97 graphics may be a little hard to find. But there are a lot of 98 graphics and seat covers in stock around.
I need some help with this bike. Wanna bring it back to life. Where to get parts and what i really got here. I was told it was a 97 tm 125
Need some help with this one. Call me 815-499-7869.
Crazy how TM uses the plastic shapes of the KX, YZ and RM on their bikes. So cool, really!
