The brute power of the Maico.

“Hill? *What hill?”* Then… “Berm? *What Berm?”* “Well, there once was one, until *Big Red on his Mighty Four-Ninety* took the turn. He made it through just fine…” “And?” “It was *GONE* after he took the turn. It was *flattened* - the bike had destroyed it *utterly.* Dirt and rocks came down hundreds of yards away.” Pause. “So *that’s* why they call those things *Berm-Flatteners.”*

These sound of those bikes gotta love those 2 strokes.

The sound of a 2 stroke😍😍

Great video! Pure two stroke power!

Nice driving, and what a great track for vmx riding. I wish we had these kind of old school tracks here in Sweden.

Roslyn Ingram You are right...but in order to achieve the same "Magic"...they would need the MAISH family and his Crew...thankfully there are people that keeps them alive and fast, but not even the big four Japanese factories could achieve that Magic.... they all bought a lot of Maicos trying to find that Magic and failed...Well...not completely they ended up making good motocross bikes in the effort....that's what makes MAICOS a Legend......😁

They do make them somewhere the exact way (replica) I think for about $11,000 but then there’s shipping

Nice work

this is best motocross ever

Love it

Good riding!!

Looks like a good track, just the natural landscape without the modern extreme jumps of today.

3:38 Got him! ;-)

Helmet crushers, that thing sounds wonderful down low..want to race so bad.

I love the track I still dream about having a Maico I took one for a test ride once and loved it it was so easy to ride and that was a 450 Radial Fin when they first came out it was only less than 1000.00 back then brand new.

in '74 the first 450 radials ran about 1700 bucks new ..add on a Mikuni carb and manifold..alloy tank and rims...change the airbox and fenders you were north of 2400 in 1974 dollars

Complimenti grande

Hoorah.. little clicks on his helmet!!! Back in the day we rode the railroad tracks.. 2 in Stones smacking you all over the place 😂😂😂🤕🤕🤕🤕🤠🤠🤠🤠. We were cowboys on steel horses!! 50 or 60 miles an hour right on the side of the railroad tracks!!! I could tell you some stories that you wouldn't believe!!

Wow you guys were flying. I don't want to get a thumbs up though as the current number is 490 thumbs up! HA!

Soberbia la maico y su gran piloto bonito video

Great race...but those guys were doomed...with a Maico and a good rider behind them...regardles the Make or the year of the bike...here, neither the bike nor the rider could stand the pressure from a Maico and it's Legendary power and handling...the legend lives....🙂

BenDrinkin1 You are right about the Hodakas, they we're great bikes, very fast, reliable, a a very basic simple design... the Super Rat was a "giant killer" ....I had two of them...but they never made an open class bike, the biggest a 250 cc ..it was a nice good bike, but nothing excepcional....
