I think this is the best look for the newer era Maicos. I was drooling over pics of this while in school..
Just need to find one...

I owned a 1970 X-4 square barrel 400, it is amazing how the bark of the Maico exhaust is much the same as my early model. They were always a handful on tight enduro style trails but great fun!

[captainsensible]

the blue beastie is most awesome, upside down forks, disks, great engine

Nice, Bike from Gebr Maisch!!1992 or 1994 Modell...i Had a1985 490 GM Star, great Bike, but Air cooled than i switched to this 1993 Modell with Water cooling and Fall in Love with it...nice to See passioned Maico Riders rideing them overseas.

[michaelmckelvey]

Wish I could get one over here in the states mate I have cr500 and kx500 just need maico

[apx]

I love how easy these Maico start, my kx500 is ok if you do it exactly right but still a pain from stone cold

Hi Toby

seems to be running somewhat better now
Are you on an old logging railway right of way for a while there....?

Hey did you get any snow...we did ...its raining now

Have you seen the video that Chris montagini has put on you tube about the rare 1977 works maico with a prototype engine

[billsmith]

So since they are the same for years. There is no larger tanks available anywhere ? Even handmade aluminum ones ?

[sambananas]

That's a lot of hp(bike)
for that single track. What's the point of using 10% of the bikes potential? You idled a good part of it. Sounds awesome though.

[TheClayCoKid]

I love that you are talking this re built Ferrari out. But I really expected more cracking the throttle

[davidmc]

Have you seen the video that Chris montagheine has put on you tube about the twin cylinder maico do you know anything about it
