I remember reading the article when I was a kid and thought it was insane! THAT'S EXTREME SPORTS 80'S STYLE

Great bike ,great article. I was reading the test on this in Dirt Bike, Amazing. They claim there was more power in that motor but the gearbox just wouldn't stand up to the job. What an awesome piece of machinery.

The tests say it redefines flat power spread like a farm tractor, not sure it would agree with me.

I posted this report because I read it when I was young and wondered what it would be like to ride.
Now I am old and am still wondering.
Oh for the chance to ride that.

All you need is a few grand in Maico or ATKs direction, they come up used.
