General Two Stroke Talk / Will there ever be another 1981 Maico 490?
« on: June 11, 2010, 01:25:32 PM »
The question is simple but let me explain. The 1981 Maico 490 is hailed as the best MX bike ever and to this day other bikes are measured against it and it in itself has gone into legend. However, do you think any modern bike being produced could ever raise that level of excitement again?
I.E. in 20 years from now would anyone belike OMG, I WANT A 2010 YZ450F! I want that year only it was the best year, no other bike can beat it! Yamaha sold more 2010 YZ450F that year than Star Bucks sold cups of Coffee!! A YZ450F 2010 in 2030 sells for $50k! You get the picture, can even be a 2 stroke, I'm just using the YZF450F because Yamaha is making such a big deal about it being even more retarded than before.
Anyhow, what are your thoughts, think a manufacturer will ever produce a bike with such lure as the 1981 Maico 490 or are they all just equal cups of coffee these days and forever more.
