I fully understand Ford.
But where i live there are 4 TM dealers within 60 miles, and they have every single part in stock.
The people who sell and work on the TM's fully know these bikes inside and outside.
They also have very fast delivery shipment these days. But here, everything is always instock.

But i understand your opinion.
It's very imoprtant having a good, fast and reliable specialist/dealership nearby..
I've had troubles in the past myself, with an Aprilia RX and a '1985 KTM 250.
Both really brought me great fun, untill i needed information and/or parts...  :-\ :-\

Sure.It wouldn't stop me from buying one but it would be annoying-especially when everyone else on the planet does it.
I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

I would be interested in a TM, but would have to sell my 2 cr125,s first. There,s  TM videos on the site somewhere, one vid compares the TM 125  to a  06 CR125. The rider said the TM handles just like the CR, so there handling is great along with the mid to top motor. How much for a piston and clutch plates ? And  brake pads, air filter, etc. can you use another bike makes parts, for the little stuff, just to keep the cost down and to have spares.

You can use CR clutch plates and you can get aftermarket pistons same price as other bikes.
There are quite a few crossover parts with other brands.
