TM Moto is not the best known brand in South Africa, there are only really a few knocking about. But this hand-made Italian motorcycle company has built a thing of beauty!
The Red Dream Edition is a tribute to the bike that gave them a very successful year in National and International races back in 1985
The bike was revealed in the paddocks of the EnduroGP Italian Round on the 21st of June.
For this new Limited Edition TM took inspiration from the 80s, when, they say, “a man with great ambition gave life to a dream that still lives on today”. Gastone Serafini, is that man from Pesaro, who was the first to race on his TM.
TM say the red is typical of the passion of Italian racing with which they started and continue to race at the highest level.

“Dream boy dream” sang Roberto Vecchioni at the end of the millennium… And we went back to dreaming, designing and building a motorbike just like we dreamed of it as kids, in the fabulous 80s, when Gastone Serafini, that “boy” from Via Milano in Pesaro , was racing on his TM motorbike. So as Roberto Vecchioni says ..“Dream, boy, dream

To celebrate they went back to the old school livery design with red plastics and a blue seat. Sticking to their roots, they fitted the bike with blue rims to compliment the livery and seat. Blue anodized parts are liberally sprinkled to add to the already stunning looks.
Interestingly, TM motorcycles are dressed by Circuit Equipment.
