- 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 in depth 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.

Thank you so much for the TM Racing Factory tour. I appreciate a lot.
- I started with Fantic early in the 80s and ended up with a TM 250 2 stroke dirt bike, mod 2001, I think. Never regret. Hope my sons will restore the bike. I think the bike had 70 HP and out raced many similar dirt bikes....
Regards Kenneth the Norseman.
WOW !!! Amazing factory!! Amazing job with your video tour, thank you.
Thank you very much for this wonderful tour of the Tm factory. I just bought a 300 RR Beta and it’s a fantastic bike . I owned a Tm 300 in 2008 and now these bikes are just unbelievably beautiful and never knew they were so hands on in the manufacturing process.
Betas are beautiful as well! Sam is also building up a Beta 350RE so maybe we'll be able to see a comparison of the Beta 4t and the TM 2T sometime this fall.
Awesome looking forward to it . Yes I agree Beta is beautiful and really awesome bikes.
Fantastic! I have an 01 300 2 stroke I bought in 04 and it's still original and run's great!!
Thanks to both of you for an amazing tour of this unbelievable factory. I loved your MV Agusta tour as well and after recently taken delivery of my MV Turismo Veloce Rosso, I can tell you that the attention to detail and Italian craftsmanship DOES make the deciding difference in how the bike rides. Grazie Mille!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write! These videos are a labor of love so its nice to know people are enjoying them.
Thank you guys for this tour. What an amazing experience you had and were able to share with us. Enjoy your new TM ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video series, thanks Sam and Melissa! I didn't know TM made so many different models.
Thing of beauty said the guy with 3 Beta’s. Thanks you too ❤
That Moto 3 bike was sweet.
Thank you for putting this video series together! I love the TM bikes and I ordered my first TM En300 about 3 months ago. It should be here in the US soon and I cannot wait !!!
Hey! It was our pleasure! The logistics of organizing the travel, the tours, the filming, the commentary and the editing is all a lot of work so thanks for taking the time to appreciate it!
This was awesome video series..Big thanks for sharing this, that is awesome brand/factory, also they make cool supermoto bikes and cool parts in house for those...
Glad you like them!
Mind Blown!
So cool!
And he didnt show you the blackdream model or SMM model. Single swingarms and 420mm braking perimetrical like buell
How cool would it be if you could just get a parts kit sent to your house and you could assemble it yourself
Clutch upper center is required for TM Race 250 4, you have it available.
Still winter in 🇨🇦 and I’ve been staring at my 2023 TM300en fi for a month now and it’s painful
We were out riding yesterday in the Mid-Atlantic. It was 38F. We might have been rushing the season a little bit though.
I love how most components are built in house and proud to be made in Italy. Question: are those tires made in Italy?
TM, Please fix the power valve issue on the EN models.
Cool factory they also make MO GP moto 3
Do they try the bikes before shipping? Dyno test?
Beautiful series of video!
Tn 300 se Deus quiser vou comprar.
Awesome
Man hope you enjoyed the tour, that man did his best to speak English... I'm surprised they didn't hired yet staff dedicated... it's a bit a pain to hear that bad English with a strong Italian accent😂
At the and they made beautiful motards, cross and enduro, almost all by themselves, we can say it's artisanal.
We love the Italian accent! But we might be biased as both Sam and Melissa are 25% Italian.
Hello, your work is very good, good luck to everyone, I am from Ankara, Turkey, I have a TM Racing 250 4 T, but I need a clutch upper center, do you have it, price etc. can you help me, thank you very much.
The casting on a modern GSXR frame is for control flex/stiffness, it's not cheaper to cast alloy.
well.... all frames are to control flex/stiffness as it's kinda what a frame does. :) The cast frames with a single weld and black spray paint are much cheaper to manufacture than the older Japanese style casting/polished extrusions frames. Compare a modern cast Japanese frame to an Aprilia RSV frame to see the manufacturing complexity/cost difference.
Are the rims the same color as the blue yamaha ones?

I actually tried to become a dealer and even though the closest dealer was two hours away they said it was too close to the other dealer .But ( if I remember correctly) based upon communicating with the importer of TM for the U.S. ( he is also the Dutch importer ) I know they sale everything that he brings in the Country but he told me what that number was but I don’t remember what it was . The only downside that I found was obviously the aftermarket stuff is limited therefore A lot of stuff must come from the dealer. I always add a tall seat to my bikes and it was rather expensive.
Where is your home country?
@@armyofdarknessmotorcyclesb2883 United States. I live on East Tennessee. I did some research on them and they were very nice bikes. I was so impressed with them I wanted to become a dealer.
@@Johnr37us where was the dealer located? I'd like to buy one
