It would be interesting to hear directly from Herr Koestler about this situation.
I wonder why M.I. made the statement (and press releases) that they were the new owners of the Maico brand and that production had been transfered to the U.K. when, in fact, ownership of the trademark still resided in Holland with Brouwer?
Something just doesn't add up here.Why would Brouwer suddenly be concerned about his ownership of the trademark when Koestler had been cranking out Maicos for the last 11 years?
I was at the factory in 1982 and witnessed the dyno testing of the new 83 490 motor.
