Those 81 490s are fantastic
its refreshing to see maico 490s as i remember them back in the day in our local dealers and at the track and believe me there were a lot of them
Most Maico owners down our way didn't mess with them at all save replacing the Cortee cosso shocks for Ohlins
there were no bloody yellow, blue or purple ones and all the ones i see these days have more bling than puff daddy
Very nice machines , aside from their now legendary performance and handling , IMHO in std trim thet really are a very good looking mototorcycle
