I prefer the KTM 400 myself but there rare , just as good if not slightly better than the Maico motor wise and it doesn't break ( yeah I know Maico lovers will say they dont break but they do)

RM370 for the pretty boys.
Maico for the cashed up pretty boys.
KTM or Husky for swarthy eastern European immigrants.
Yamaha for the rest of us.

I could be very easily talk into a Husky Auto 77 MX a very underrated bike IMO. If you cant hole-shot on one these gems and work your way backwards your not trying.

You know you want one of those sewing machines, you keep going back to them!

But dot buy a basket case, buy something that is together and in riding condition!

you might ride it then!
