Did you get any 125s in Aus/NZ?

Only in small numbers Michael. There were very few that actually hit the race track in the day, I can only recall one radial version and it/he a was damn fast. He later raced an RM 125 Suzuki and he didn't show the speed he had on that little Maico.

Firko.  Brisks Sales in Queensland had two (AW125s) here in 1977.  They had three bikes prepared for Mat Daley to race in 1977.  A 125, a 250 and a 400.  Mat decided to retire instead I bought the 400 mid year 1977, and then got to race the 125 in the 1978 Qld MX Championships at Kilcoy.  The 125 was pretty quick rotary disc valve.  I think I was sixth at Kilcoy.  A C Grader bought the other 125.  Brisks also had two 125 Maico Road Racers for Tommy Gibson at one stage.  They were real nice bikes.

My ex "works" bike: 1973/74 MC125, with alloy swingarm (Reinschüssel), magnesium front- and rear hub, footrest mounting point directly weldet on the frame (not the bolt on stockers), ... etc.
I bought the bike in parts and bad condition on ebay, just because of the "GP-hub" for my 1974 GS250 projekt. And I hadn't even recognized that it was from magnesium because of the bad pictures.. 
The plan was to keep the goodies and sell the rest. But instead of that I just keeped the rear wheel (DID rim), reassambled the bike and gave it to a friend of mine
