Roadracing World's Sam Fleming and Melissa Berkoff visited the TM Racing factory in Pesaro Italy in April 2022.
TM Racing makes arguably the most exquisite racing motorcycles for MX, Enduro and Supermoto in the world. They also made a championship winning Moto3 roadrace bike!
Join Sam and Melissa on a very indepth tour of the factory including the machine shop (s), the hand crafted engines and the assembly.
These videos are unscripted and had to be shot contemporaneously with the tour so forgive any verbal slips and/or the handheld nature of the camera work.

Funny, I had a deposit on a Beta 300rr and was lucky enough to find a TM en300 that was ordered but not spoken for so I put a deposit on it too. I figured I'd just take whichever bike came in first but as the time went on I really wanted the TM. Well the TM did come in first and that's what I have now and I can tell you it's pure sex in two dirt wheels. I can't see myself owning a different brand of dirtbike. I love being a part of something special and limited. Such a high quality machine and guess what, you don't even pay a premium for it. It costs less than the orange or white bikes and is on par with any other bike that I looked at. Love it.

hey dude. How much did you pay for your TM? I’ve heard that they are bit pricey. There is no a TM market in my country, the newest ones are like 2014 models here. I am really interested in TM bikes. How do they ride and feel compared to KTM 2 stroke enduros? Are they really cost less than the KTM or Husqvarna? edit: mistype

truly works of art. Cant believe the total cost of Bikes are about the same as KTM

Love how he keeps saying "Engina", normally that would be ridiculous but in case of TM it actually makes sense to combine "engine" and "vagina" to describe your power trains. Very happy TM 125 owner myself and hoping to add a 300 Supermoto in the near future.

I'm not a manufacturing expert, but it looks like a lot of process bottlenecks, and batching going on. Not what I would consider optimally efficient, nor lean. But no question, the parts are incredibly beautiful, and quality looks excellent. I want one : )

Almost like they are motivated by the passion of excellence, not just trying to make another Euro. :)

Would have loved to work there.

he said fusion when pointing out some of the castings i think they might be 3d printed

@armyofdarknessmotorcyclesb2883 9 ай бұрын

Some of the parts are forged and some are cast but he uses the term "fusion". No 3D printing in production.

It’s unfortunate that TM has virtually zero dealers and support in the US…

T-Bone and Earl's in North Central Maryland is excellent. But that's the only TM dealer that we've worked with.... letmegooglethat.com/?q=T-bone+and+earls&l=1

Its natural for enduro enthusiasts to have those sorts of feelings once the sap starts rising in the roots of spring. There is no shame in it.

TM, Please fix the power valve problem on en300 2t.

@chaddoughty1758 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Matt- I'm looking at buying a 2019 300mx 2t - what year are you having the power valve problem with?

@matterwin2851 Жыл бұрын

Having pv issues with my ‘22 en300fi. I’ve never met another tm en owner without a pv problem. The only fix that my local dealer and everyone else he’s talked with is to whack the throttle after starting the bike. Four seconds later the valve is back to normal. My dealer is great because he’s trying to sort out the issue but has very little support from TM. I’m living with the issue and making it work for me but I’ll never buy another TM.

55 HP from a 125cc? Is it carburated and is that number of horsepower at the rear wheel?

Hey! We should have it done by Friday. We're working on parts 4 and 5 as well. We got interrupted by a Yamaha MT-10 press launch and...well, good riding weather.
