You won't get a better buy than this Frosty!!

It's in pieces, but it looks like it's all there!

Heartless, but funny. At least someone finally found one for the right price ;D ;D :D ;D

TS400 has different gear ratios and also ignition and flywheel so it really isnt a motor crosser

Not quite right the TM has a taller first gear the other 4 are the same, TS has an external flywheel and the TM an inner rotor.The added inertia of the TS flywheel is exactly what the T needs.

That tm400 looks a little flimsy and not as large as I thought they were I wonder why postage is so much if they fit in a little box like that. :) I have a rm250 tamiya model but I dont want to put it together thanks Michael. :)

Yep and its that crank and flywheel that were the hot mod in the day. First gear you can disregard as the final gearing of the TS was much higher. Then the chassis starts to work rather than get you killed.

1971 TM-400R. I've had it for about ten years. Just took it out of storage. It rolls, it has spark and compression. Otherwise, it's in rough shape...needs a complete resto. Has seat pan only. Cylinder head has a couple of broken fins, but I may have a spare. Pretty rare first-year TM-400 Suzook. $500.00. Merry Christmas and thanks Mark.

 :D Mick, I just assembled that same model but just like the real deal I like to have mine a little bit different ;D I couldn't be bothered doing the cables cause after assembling I now realize just how blind I am these days! 8) thought about keeping it in the box but eh, what the heck, could die tomorrow and never know what it was like to put together and that's the whole reason they were made in the first place, not to look at in a box then give to someone else who probably won't respect it as much when I go belly up ;)

It is only a matter of time till I get a tm400 just working hard doing the gt80 up it's on the way to being finished getting the wheels back this week and motor fully rebuilt will be finished soon I spent a fortune on the gt80 but I had to and it isn't as if I cared how much I spent on it. :)

That sounds good got a few bikes and parts I have to pick up and pay for at the moment I will sort some out that I have first and then see I will get a tm400 sooner or later I would like to race one I have a 78 rm400 but it is motor less so it won't be going any where fast.

That's a bloody nice looking TM400 there Stew 8) Only things I dislike are the alloy accessory bits such as the oval muffler, the aluminium pipe guard and the lever guards, to me they look entirely out of place :-\

Obviously have vastly different rules surrounding those wrist breaker lever guards, they're a big no no here for mx. Couldn't agree more about that butt ugly pipe guard
