2027 TM Racing Models

It’s insane how little love tm and beta get

Kawi drops a 327 and everyone’s like sign me up

Take my money meanwhile these companies crank out these works of art for years and nobody notices.

We need more of those in MXGP classes.

The marketing department at kawasaki is bringing this post to their next performance review. 

Same thing with the difference in how beta and triumph have been received. One paid the price for marketing and gets far more air time and ad placement at the races and the other is parked out by the privateers and barely gets mentioned. 

Which stinks bc Beta has the best looking bike in the pits. Those things are gorgeous. 

Those are badass!

I’ve got a 2014 and a 2023

Maybe I should get a new one 300 mx 2 stroke 

I was just in Italy, on two different occasions a TM 125EN’s passed my fiancée and I while driving, she didn’t understand my excitement. Such cool bikes. 

Saw that one - carbed and/ or fi

Bikes are sik 😎

how good does that 125 look? Glad the white/blue is back!

I had a 2006 125 and a 2021 144. They’re excellent bikes.  
 
These 2027 models are gorgeous— especially in blue. 

TM’s are effectively works bikes with the way they are built.  If they had anywhere near the track testing and setup time that the other bikes had, it would be highly competitive.

Gorgeous bikes, maybe the best looking on the market.

meh

The front fender is hideous. Worse than a 95 yz. The bikes themselves are tall and stubby looking imo, and dont get me started on Betas. Ick. Couple of races ago it showed a guy on a beta getting lapped and he was going real slow back of the bike was swapping all over the place LOL. The current yamahas are also pretty goofy looking, particularly the white red anniversary edition. Imho. Whoever said the Beta is the best looking bike on the track needs glasses. To be fair, id say all Italian dirt bikes I have seen including the cagiva husqvarnas and the ducati are odd looking to me, maybe its better in person? Idk

Tall & stubby is quite the oxymoron. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. 

Beta is getting a fair number of dealers out there now, I have bought one, great bikes. Better than any KTM I have ever owned. I believe TM are indeed beautiful but are still boutique status it seems. Availability depending on currency exchange rates, distributors changing every few years, dealers that have a new bike and maybe a holdover from the previous year, nearest dealer at least two hours away and none for five hours after that kind of thing. It's a shame, some of those brands are kind of cool, Reiju, Sherco, Fantic, etc..

How do you put the fuel in?

That’s a four stroke the filler is above the right number plate area. Tank is in the center under the seat. The seats are air intakes on the 2 and 4 strokes they both have intake and passages leading to the air boxes.

The bikes are bad ass. I had a 19 loved it.

Really surprised these have not taken off in the US.  No testing or talk about them almost at all.  Are they just niche bikes that really aren't that good,  but look awesome?

They’re great. They make great power, great chassis, top notch controls and parts, they’re really dialed overall.

My 300 I had to get revalved and lean the netting out: I like a softer suspension feel and it was stiff out of the box. Other than that I didn’t change much of anything, just rode it. Did a piston and reeds at 65 hours, sold it and went back to 450s but honestly I don’t think I’ve ever ridden better than when I was on the 300, it was smooth and encouraged you to open the throttle early and often, where 450s i tend to use lighter openings and more clutch and wait till finished the turn a bit more. The 300 I watch videos from when I rode it, I was on the gas so much earlier than now it’s wild to watch back.

They’re genuinely good bikes.

All true about the lack of dealers and info though but the dealers that are there are good at ordering and mailing you parts quickly, so besides not being able to go in person easily very little to be lost there to me, i order everything online anyway.

They have been flip flopping distributors in the US for quite a few years, so they have been very difficult to even purchase. I was trying to buy brand new TM125 in early 2023, but none were available. I don't believe they imported any bikes from mid-2022 to early 2025. Or if they did, they were extremely scarce. 

What you’re looking at is the air box.  That lid pops off.  Fuel tank on the right side on the 4t’s. 
Might seem a little goofy, but it’s really easy to fill not having to lift a can so far up.  

This was after a Vegas WORCS race a few years ago, my son won the 450 A class on a 300cc 4t.  Those bikes handle so good and are extremely reliable!  
(Never mind, pic won’t load) 🤦‍♀️

They look awesome and probably ride great but if you are actually riding every weekend or a few times a month it would not be practical at all. 

Buying parts from RMATV and getting them in a few days is a huge aspect of the more common OEMs or going to a local dealer. What if you need a set of plastics? Ordering a OEM set from Italy for $600 isn't the most practical thing.

If you have one of the big OEMs you can basically have every part you need to rebuild the whole bike in less than 2 weeks. 

We hear that concern a lot, but there are many dealers like Get Dirty Dirt Bikes that will ship you parts right away.

Parts aren’t an issue like most people think, just can’t use the usual Rocky Mountain etc. for OEM parts 

‘86 Cagiva looks pretty good,

I wonder if they import for TM?

Is the importer. 

TM and Beta are easily the most beautiful bikes IMO

Don’t worry, it won’t be long before TM comes out with a TM-Electric for you 😎

There was a point where TM had gotten weird for a little bit, but these bikes look great… except the front fender. 

The pink TMs were sick.
