TM 300EN 1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

Review by Goodie78 in Australia 26-May-2010

Maybe I got a little too excited riding this, but this is awesome. The power is strong, but not over the top like a motorcrosser. It has the strong mid-range and top end, but only sporting a 5 speed box does take some of the legs out of it - however, it is still capable of top speeds over 140kph with fairly short final gearing.
Geometry is an area I felt uncomfortable. The owner had bar rasers on it and pro-taper high rise bars, so my short 172cm stature felt like it was riding a chopper. The rest of the ergos were great, foot to peg relationship, nice flat seat. The bike is light and steers like nothing else I have ridden. It sounds sweet too.
Watch for leaking gearshift seal, worn wheel bearings and shock linkage bearings, and know when it's last rebuild was (they only fare a single ring piston). Make sure jetting is on the richer side of life too.

Parts aren't that expensive, but try soursing them overseas first.
