We both hear the same music then. :) But I was talking about this annoying Spaceship-Dirty-Dance-Microbrain-Gangsta-Disco-Electronic-Rap noise we too often hear in motorcycle videos.
@BBQ Jerk - You must have never ridden a KX500 or KTM495 as they are easy to ride and fairly mellow even with 60hp+. The CR500 hits hard once you drop kick the gigantic muffler and salt flats gearing but even then you do not rev one out but just play around with the grunt before shifting. Honestly a 250cc 2 stroke will get you into trouble far more often than a 500 does simply due to how aggressive you can ride a 250.
Damn that thing BARKS!! Reminds me of the old 125cc factory works bikes back in the day. Wonder what to HP/Torque curve looks like, gotta be impressive.
Tm 125 are really quick bikes and high quality. There the ferrari's of mx/enduro bikes imop. I ride honda 2t myself but id love to be able to afford one of these.
Sounds mean AF! I give it credit at Glen Helen, nothing comes easy at that place on a 125cc 2T and then some. The bike did well! Thanks for getting after it with the best soundtrack ever.
I remember racing MX in the 70's and you would occasionally here a 4-stroke in a class and marvel how cool that 4-banger sounds and wish there were more of that sound. Now fast forward to 2017 and wish we would have more of that 2-stroke sound. Seems like humans want what's most rare.
ciao, le moto tedesco-austriache suonano molto bene il corno alpino,se le fai guidare a un campione forse, dallo scarico esca qualche nota ma...niente più........ di fatto chi costruisce Le carote austriache ha molti soldi per pagare gli ingaggi ai migliori piloti al mondo,e i media del settore motociclistico.Se leggi un giornale,in ogni pagina trovi un ktm o un bmw che strano
Italian specialty motocross bikes go back to the 70's with Ancillotti, Simonini and SWM. These were similar to the TM and were some of the most powerful 125's at the time (including KTM).
Wide000 yeah I ride a yz125 and a yz250. I also ride Glen helen very often. The rider in this video is coming up short on the majority of the jumps that I have no problem clearing to the extensions. This is why I say he needs to click up a gear. Also, the 125 won't bog if he is carrying enough speed and using his clutch right. This guy is revving the piss out of this bike in 3rd gear when he should be in 4th and 5th in the straights
Well the main Italian website isn’t even working broken and the US website is just terriable, why can’t bike manafacturers get a decent simple website 🙁
chris smith agree, in this day and age a good website is your best friend, it’s the basis for all information and researching a product or service, whether it’s KTM, Honda or whoever quite frankly whoever designs these sites really has no idea what we need. It’s pretty simple but somehow they make it difficult, if you padlock your shop door how can I come in and look around, website is the same no different, excepts it’s global, 24hrs and 7days, it’s never sleeps, it’s not even expensive if done right, we don’t need flashy designer BS, just good pictures and good detailed information. It’s not rocket science
These no music videos are just perfect.
Wide000 what do you mean? All I hear is music
We both hear the same music then. :) But I was talking about this annoying Spaceship-Dirty-Dance-Microbrain-Gangsta-Disco-Electronic-Rap noise we too often hear in motorcycle videos.
Wide000 yeah
Stunning bike ... fantastic track ... wonderful sound ... what could you want more ...
Dear TM, please make a proper 500cc two stroke. People will buy it. Thank you
Sign me up brother!
What people? People with a death wish?

That must be true, when you had smaller guys like Ward and Magoo winning races and championships on 500s
Id rather Honda release a 1986 throwback steel framed 500.
Thanks for no music! and the sound of the 125 WFO instead.
Proper moto video , no silly music !
Thank you for raw 2 stroke videos
I have wanted a TM since I saw one in person when I was 11 years old... one day hahaha
Damn that thing BARKS!! Reminds me of the old 125cc factory works bikes back in the day. Wonder what to HP/Torque curve looks like, gotta be impressive.
This is really one of my fav clips

The best 125!
Fantastic Italian sound....
Wow, its going to need a new top end after this,,sounds labored everywhere on that track,,
I thought the TM people was on holliday.. Did they finaly understundom that they have to release there bikes before April...
Nice Bike
💙🇮🇹
Wonder if that was pump gas. Sounded like the jetting was off.
™️💙
Race gas or pump gas ⛽?
The TM websites suck worse than a 1985 Geocities website.
bello

First
Hate the plastic, hate the baby blue and they are $8300
Is it me, or does this thing look slow??
It aint
Fastest 125. This track is made for bigger bikes
Love the raw sound. Keep these coming
Sounds mean AF! I give it credit at Glen Helen, nothing comes easy at that place on a 125cc 2T and then some. The bike did well! Thanks for getting after it with the best soundtrack ever.
For the people saying the bike is slow: keep in mind it's Glen Helen dude.
Kids on Playstation
Great Bike. Awesome Sound!
Awesome vid MXA ! It would be cool if you could compare that bike to the KTM/Husky and the Yamaha !
Anyway this bike looks and sounds great :D

Sounds like it pulls harder up-hill than the Austrian 250s ..

fuck yes with head phones on this is pure awesome.
This is bad ass
You can tell the tracks of today are not 125 two stroke friendly. That bike couldn’t clear any of the bigger jumps on the track. Sounded good.
Hey im looking into buying one of these do you know where i can get one in the usa?
Sounds Fiesty;)

He keeps casing
Sweet bike, but as you can see, like most 125's, she need's that little extra 144 kit to really smoke
Awesome bike built good but not a fan of Italians to be honest can't stand them
Next time include a wide open first turn solo rider.
I wonder how these compares to the new 250f.or even old 250fs
125 2 stroke makes more hp than the 250 4 stroke.
But is slower on a track... nowadays, 250 2t and 250 4t results in similar lap times. The 125 is not there.
Wide000 it all depends on the rider. The guy in this video really needs to click up a gear or two
A gear or two higher will just bog the engine. Did you see the long hills? You can't ride it like a 450... Did you ever ride a 125? :)
On the hill you have to scream a 125. but yeah he needs to go up gear, he might not get the looks slow comments

MaverickDH too busy making bitchin 125’s
What good is that if someone like me wants to learn about their products? No website means no support after the sale.
nascarnate326 lol

usually the site works and is well done
Are ya going to taco-bout the bike?
sounds awesome -> looks slow : (
I agree on both points, hopefully its only perspective.
I agree too, even if the rider is obviously very good. Slow by today's standards but the fun factor is at the top.
It's slow because of the rider. He needs to click up a gear or two
Not sure this small peaky engine could take it...
Two gear higher is a lot to ask... it's not a 450
