TM on show
By TMX Archives on 22nd Aug 07
TM finally unveiled its alu-framed 450 for Manuel Priem to ride at Moneyglass.
The Belgian had already successfully tested thebike some months ago, but the delay in racing the bike had come becausethe small Pesaro based factory manufacture their own plastics and hadneeded to confirm final dimensions before buil-ding the manchinery toproduce them.
Interesting to note that the bike has a switch onthe bars to change igintion maps for starting and race mode ifrequired, while the engine mountings were also different and, as in F1,the factory engine will be required to run two GPs.
