Hi Hoony, yes it was in NSW. Paul found it and bought it to my attention. I have been saving for it. This was a big budget commitment in many ways, especially after already committing to two and a half other Maicos earlier this year ::) ::). It, with the others has stifled my intent, of what was a "once" 2010 racing budget.

This is the brochure for a slightly earlier model.


I believe the one I just bought is a '69 model. Six speed, rotary disc induction. I believe the sorted potential of these engines in a killer handling MX chassis is enormous.

Its part of a "plan" Hoony ;D One of my life dreams is to "sort" these engines out ::) Then the 125 MX'ers that I own, would finally be much more suitable for me to use in dirt competition.

To improve them, means I must own the stock bikes first Hoony. I have formed a "strategy". I live on a small inner city block. The best way for me to field test my engine mods :D will be in this road registered "test rig", built for everyday use. :D

Cheers, Mick.

cool pick up Mickster,  8) and a man must have a "plan" or else he will wander aimlessly throughout the workshop of life.

heres hoping the "plan" comes together, we do of coarse expect regular updates on All "plans" contained within these pages as they unfold so we can correct our misguilded ones  ;)

Sounds like you have nearly enough Maico's to march on Poland !

Yeah I think it's cool to Hoony  ;D

A friends other half has already named it
          "precious"

The great thing about it, it is original :o (except for the hand grips) and except for the keys ::) one hundred percent complete. It has 5,702 klm's on it. It has been stored in the country, away from the coast and undercover. All the rubber, is still soft. It has lots of compression.

After the school holidays ::) Hoony,  ;D I will clean it, rego etc and start a Mayfixtheshitty125trannytopic. 

Have a good one, Mick.

I think I read somewhere on here that it has been "showed" at a couple of meets down there.

I suppose I would be "dreaming" for some pics  :D
