[QUOTE="Michelle, post: 581468, member: 16598"]
My husband has a 97 KTM 360SX & 02 TM250. The 360 had sat seized in the garage for just over a year. He got it going this week & after riding it today, came back & said "the TM's not up for sale anytime soon". He loves the TM, but also enjoys GG's (ridden a 400 four stroke & couple of 200 two strokes) and is keen to take a 250 out to see how that fares (he was tossing up between the TM & GG initially).

Failings on the TM: crappy stock seat cover, stock pipe dents easily, kick start was never right to start with & he felt it didn't handle gravel roads well (which is better now with a steering damper attached).

At 5'3", I find the TM too tall but at 5'11" he finds it brilliant for ruts & general size. He now stands more as the seat is hard (but not as bad as late model KTM's). Oh, he rode an 02 250EXC KTM & found it had more bottom end than his TM & handled gravel roads better.
Hope that helps some & if you want more info, I'll get him to post when he's got some time :)
