Damn those are nice looking bikes. I saw a few at the ISDE - those motors RIP. I think the TM motor has a little more jam than the Gasser. Wonder what they handle like?

OK,

I got in a quick buzz on the 300. his has the steel frame, so I guess it is the '07. it is a beautiful bike! but I would worry about scratching those blue rims...

the ergos are very tight, those italians must be compact people. the bike takes a serious boot to start it, & the motor is very barky--big piston + minimal silencer, I guess.

the bike still needs a little fine tuning at the bottom of the range, it was a little rich, but once it cleans out, it goes! it has a lot of mid & top. it has less bottom & WAY more top than a KTM 300; it has more of a hit than the GG 300. it's fun, but I'm not sure I'd want to hang on to it all day in tight conditions.

I'll post back once he gets it fully sorted out.

With KTM forcing electric start on the 2t guys and the slump with GG, I think these thing may take off.

I'd like to see some actual weights.

Default tm EN 144

Hi Guys, I am just about to order a new 144 EN $11895 NZ$, not the cheapest in the world but has all the good stuff as standard, I will get the importer to set up the mixtures. Im not a racer(not even fast these days) just trail rides & the odd enduro. I did look at a new Gas Gas EC200 but ive lost faith in the importers ability to supply parts for my wifes EC 50, (had piston & rings on order for over 6 months so just fitted a new big bore kit, QUICKER).
I will also look at ways to lower it (shortass) & possibly fit a flywheel weight.

It would be nice if TM built a 200. Wonder what their reason is for not doing it as it would really be a simple thing to do IMO. The 144 is really kind of an odd ball size.

Yea its got something to do with the mx class 250 4 strokes or 2 strokes up to 150 cc i think.
Ive ridden a 2006 en125 & really enjoyed it ,talk about good in the tight stuff & turning ability, my mates got a 06 EC250 which is also good in the bush but as I said before the parts for GAS GAS have been a problem for me so far.
