  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I came across an ad for a 1996 TM 250 enduro model that looks to be in good shape for what seems like a great price. I suppose my questions regard parts availability for the most part, but also what it's like to ride--power delivery? Woods handling? Suspension? Any info would be hugely appreciated.
 
I remember riding a 95' to 96' Gas Gas with the TM 250 motor back in the day and it was amazing. Granted, I owned a clapped out 96' KX 125.

But the power delivery of the motor was smooth!
 
Going to look at it tomorrow. If it's as nice as in the pictures, then I'll be coming home with it!

He also has the original pink plastics and an aluminum tank for it. If I slap the hot pink plastic back on it, I'll be the envy of all the kids with the neon garish gear that's coming back into style...

Here's a pdf of the 1996 brochure. PINK!!!

saw that one as well,looks pretty good in the pics,clean title is the deal maker for me,if it wasnt so far away,I would have already bought it!
 
I was supposed to check it out yesterday, but it sold before I could get to it. Blast! Oh, well. I really didn't need another bike. Now I can spend that money on getting my forks revalved.
 
for whats its worth ..thats an extremely potent bike you missed out on.
they were and still are a fairly ballistic machine..fun for while but as soon as you got tired or one little bobble and it was a trip to the hospital :D

and if that wasnt enough then there was the 300 :eek:

the dealer beside me runs the TM wec team and has pretty much anything you'd ever want for one of these.

as a side note there was a tm 300 from that era that i think in my circle of biking friends nearly everyone had a broken bone from. it used to run right side up forks..and had two throttle settings...

jeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssussssssssssssss thats fast ....and then the second when the power really kicked in :lol:
 
I'm not sure I would've raced it, but it would have been a nice playbike/curiosity. Especially for $600.
