I just tried to bid but he's got it blocked for foreign bidders.I then tried to ask him if he's open it up for me to bid as I only want it shipped to Long Beach but even that approach is blocked to foreigners.  Maybe that's a blessing in disguise ::).

What about a mate stateside bidding or emailing the guy? It's only money and you can't take it with you ;D

Nice looking little bike.

Both these bikes are the 175M GS models, with the 21" frontwheel and more powerful engine, for flat out racing ;) A lot rarer than the more common M model.
Mine also has a extra damper for the fork, from the fenderbrace to the upper yoke, between the forklegs.
+ it runs.... ;D

Nah....I'll give it a miss, I'm not that interested in it, especially as it's only a 175. I suspect it'll probably end up going for over 2k which would make life difficult as I've got enough money already invested in pre 65 Maicos at the moment.

Firko's right, it would take min. 2000 AUD for me to part with it.

AND, you would have to figure out a way to get it shipped from Norway....
I could crate it and deliver it at the docs in Oslo, but the rest is up to the buyer...

It's a sweet little bike though Martin....unrestored original, 50's era Maicos rarely if ever come along, especially a runner as yours appears to be.
