Thanks firko -- a long read -- informative and really a good dose of common sense -- but has put me off a bit -- may look for a cz as some have advised.

090 -- I rang to see about that ebay 440 Maico near Brisbane -- sold the day after the auction closed  :'(

Well we all missed out on a great bike. Saw it today and it is a pearler. New owner cleaned the points and third kick. Sounds tight and is a low hour bike.
