About HM
Country of Origin:

HM Moto S.r.l. (Italian team partnering closely with Honda off-road platforms)

Company History
HM Moto specialized in turning Honda’s fierce off-road machinery into street-legal, European-homologated enduros and supermotos. Starting from CR/CRF foundations, HM added lights, instruments, gearing, exhaust tweaks, and mapping that preserved off-road bite while surviving daily commuting. Italian craft showed in tidy wiring, sensible protections, and component choices that balanced weight and durability. The result was a cult favorite in Italy, France, and Spain: bikes that could blast a liaison, clear an alpine trail, and then roll home legally. HM also fielded competitive enduro efforts, feeding setup knowledge straight into customer bikes—jetting, sprockets, suspension valving suited to real terrain. As emissions tightened and Honda’s own street-legal offerings expanded, HM’s niche narrowed, but the imprint remains: a generation learned that a sharp motocrosser can be a brilliant all-roads tool when domestic expertise bridges the homologation gap. Historically, HM underscores the strength of Italy’s tuner-manufacturer ecosystem—small firms translating racing hardware into everyday joy with paperwork, parts, and pride.
