[QUOTE="markthomps, post: 21529, member: 18626"] Ramski, get the '81 490 Maico! No comparison IMHO between the King Kong Maico and anything else that was available in the early 80s . . . and I tried them all. For all the power it puts out, the bike is also amazingly easy to ride. It just hooks up and goes, without any wicked habits. I have a friend who races one against mod bikes in the Expert class, and he still places in the top 3! Personally, I'd vote for a ready-to-ride, if you can find one at a reasonable price. Also check with Dave Boydstun at AMS Racing in Tempe AZ and Eric Cook at Maico Only in California (go visit VMX magazine at [url="http://www.vmx-mag.com"]www.vmx-mag.com[/url] to see their links). Eric especially knows 490 Maicos and does the best bikes out there. He also has tons of spares, new stuff, etc etc etc. ------------------ '81 490 Maico (King Kong!), 2000 CR250, 74-1/2 GP400 Maico, buncha street stuff [/QUOTE]
