Wow 700 2 stroke has to HAUL for a dirt bike

How do you pronounce Maico? (my-coe, may-coe)?

'mericans say may-coe because we can and Germans say my-coe because Hans Maisch is pronounced hawnz-my-shhhh

ATK 700 2t is a Maico, but you already knew that, right?

And anybody that's dumb enough to purchase one of those overpriced antiques is on dog food

'mericans say may-coe because we can ...

... by virtue of us buying more Maicos then the rest of the planet combined. :cool:

Well you make an excellent point, as usual.

It's "MY-CO" you goobers. You the same ones that call the German car a Porch?

Anyone who has pulled apart a brand new Maico gearbox to modify the shift plate so it shifts properly, or still has a wave washer clutch spring in their toolbox (for reasons know only to the Moto gods and possibly SuperHunky ) can call it anything they want.

In the presence of Maico royalty like Pokie I'm willing bow to the Teutonic foofery and say MyCO, but it will always be a MayCoe to me. :nener:

 

[flyingfuzzball]

ATK 700 2t is a Maico, but you already knew that, right?

yeah I thought so but I didnt want to spread misinformation.

its also the same engine design as the 490 right?

I would never buy one of those but i think it would be fun to try riding one.

I may be a goober but those guys are mezkins, more confusing is it poor-shuh or poor-shhhh? At least CZ is easy to pronounce. Quick give me the number to 911. How do you spell ABC? What's that thing called where the cowboys ride bulls and stuff? How do you say Texas?
Tour-DAY-frants go lanz

Hey man... back away from the pipe....

 

[Okiewan]

Hey man... back away from the pipe....

Whoa now Cowboy.... you are messing with DRN Royalty.

 

[VintageDirt]

That's no pipe, it's an expansion chamber.

Goot won! OU is always easier to spell than OSU. Be sure and tell the landscapers, "Green side up!".
BTW, cool pic, Rich!

It has always been Mayco, it is the only way to rhyme with breako.

There's the answer right there.

Cowboy, I like it.

I pretty much mess with everyone equally regardless of status. What fun is the world otherwise? C'mon now....


Good thread this one, I like the humor. :nener:

 

[magneto]

I wonder if these machines are as refined as say a Honda or KTM. I'd like to see a test of the 320 MX against the current crop of 450s. I bet it would give them a run down to the first turn at least...

 

[_JOE_]

I doubt they have development budget.

 

[whenfoxforks-ruled]

I do not recall Maico ever having r&d, just killer looking bikes.

I didn't know they were backed by Harley?
