- 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.
Part 1 of 5
00:25 The "More Beautiful" aesthetic of Italy
02:53 Meet our guide Roberto Aloi
02:56 A discussion of the challenges of California emissions laws, shipping rates, pros and cons of manufacturing ones own parts compared to buying them externally, the plans to continue ramping up production. It goes on and on but it is a fascinating look behinds the scenes and the manufacturing of motorcycles.
17:04 We make it to the factory door.
We hope you find this look inside the factory as fascinating as we did.

Fascinating, I'm loving these videos.
Glad you like them!
Amazing.
The TM story is incredible. I’m Italian and I’m very proud of it. The only one problem they have is that “they get lost in a glass of water”. How is it possible for an INTERNATIONAL sales manager to speak shitty english like that?
This attitude is reflected in the production, in the after sale assistance and in the final user experience.
They just need to improve on the details to make the brand at the same level of its competitors, and even better due to the “artigianale” and “fatto a mano” philosophy behind the brand.
To be fair, the failing is that Sam and Melissa speak terrible Italian so Roberto was doing pretty well in English! Where do you live in Italy?

I’m in Ancona, less than 2h from Pesaro.
I can understand your point, but as an International sales manager you should speak 100% perfect English my friend. You are representing the TM brand abroad and you can’t even totally explain yourself while talking.. this can diminish the reputation and image of the brand (in my opinion).
But I’m not talking only about Roberto’s english, I’m talking about they need to focus on details to improve their reputation.. post sale assistance, spare parts management and availability, warranty, ecc..
@@nicolo4439 there is a story here in the United States among the racing promoters and participants that underscores exactly what you're saying. Some years back their international racing coordinator visited a grand national cross country race with the United States importer. When it was proposed that TM participate he scoffed and said the Americans were hillbillies who only understood Hondas and Yamahas. Understand that the GNCC is the largest off-road series in the country and would probably be most analogous to your Enduro GP. Granted the GPS are better organized and produced but the GNCC series here in the States gets a lot of media attention. It was a major misstep for them. As a side note I own an Italian Husqvarna and it's been one of the most wonderful motorcycles I've ever had
TM, Please fix the power valve problem on the EN300 2t
There is an easy fix, just do the power up mod using the pv reset cable
My dealer and I have tried that and every other “fix”. No luck. Went on a ride with four other tm riders, tbi and carb and all the bikes hade the same issue. The “fix” is to whack the throttle after startup then four seconds later the pv is back to normal. I’m making it work for me and my dealer I’d doing the best he can to sort out the issue with no support from TM. I will never buy another TM.
What power valve issue ?
I know have needed a reset from a capacitive discharge to factory default
Disconnect battery and hold pos neg together for 10 minutes and reconnect
Apparently that has been rectified for 22 and 23
I just ordered a 23
Would you say tm racing is good
Yes.
i think tm is getting bought out by a Chinese investment company
