Is that her name? I thought she looked more like a Cheryl or a Stacey. Very nice though...and the bike looks pretty good as well  ;D
She needs to pawn that ring though and buy herself a decent pair of jeans...

I have heard this from lots of people that have had any experience with a 250 Rotax . I haven't had a chance to try out one of these motors yet. This is why I have to get my finger out and finish my Maico/Rotax hybrid project before the Nats in September . Seems like the logical thing to do, putting the best pre '75 legal motor into the best handling pre '75 legal frame  ;).

If you get it finished and sorted it should be a weapon ;) 8).

It's an interesting project and it will be interesting to see how it pans out - how much of the legendary Maico handling is the frame and how much is it the way the power is delivered.

You've burnt some stick and time on that pipe :o. Do you think the stinger is long enough? :D.

the combination is a match, but the yellow seat cover give it the flick, total black will suit the period.

Remember one of the reasons Maico's handle so good is there crankshaft rotation.

Not to worry - the Canam crank rotates faster than a Maicos so that'll be even better :D
