Yes...I had an '01 500 mc until it was stolen,almost 2 years now.I still think about that bike everyday and the unholiest of hells the person(s) resonsible for stealing it would experience if I ever came across them.
Great bike,I imported mine directly from the Kostler in Germany.It was almost to nice to ride.It used Yamaha fenders and side panels('96-'01) and the seat cover from Yamaha's of the era would fit as well.They have the best of everything,including a hydraulic clutch. The best site IMO is www.maicobrothers.com , on this site you will find photos of my bike as well as lots of info for the newer Maicos.If you want an overpriced Maico with lots of options you can always get an ATK/Maico.If I can help anybody with info please let me know.
