Edited Date/Time:
After a lot deliberation, research and thinking I finally decided on what I wanted to do for my next two stroke build. I decided on a couple of TM's because I feel they have the most advanced two stroke engines in the world right now. They dominate the kart racing circuit and have won a lot of world championships over the last 10 years.
I decided to buy a 250 and a 144 and build both of them at the same time. One of the main reasons I decided to buy both bikes now is because I have heard rumors that TM Racing is going to EFI on all of the two strokes in 2019 and I really prefer the carbureted version. If 2018 was going to be the last year of the carbureted bikes, I definitely wanted to grab one of each size while I still could.
After going over these bikes with a fine tooth comb and trying to figure out what I want to change and modify, I have a newfound appreciation for the attention to detail that TM puts into their machines. The design, craftsmanship and attention to detail of these bikes is second to none and simply amazing.
Below are a few of the preliminary pics and a few of the details that make the TM Racing machines special.
