I wonder where I've seen those pictures before...

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

I would love to put my hands on one of those beauties. Maybe in the past years I was not convinced totally with the bikes look, but now, WOW those bikes really stand out, just seeing them and I'm in love. Just look a the details, the seat cover, the wheels, the fuel tank, ufff...
And that is just the look, I know those bikes handle great also, and the engine response is awesome.
Damn I want one so badly  :(
Maybe someday I can get the 320MX shipped to my country...

What country do you live in??? There may be a distributor closer than you think.....

Personally I'm looking forward to taking a spin on one of these machines, when they hit the shores of the USA I hope to be one of the first to swing a leg over one of them....

I, myself, never ride motocross tracks.  However, I do ride dirt roads with a bunch of very good riders on 500cc machines and would love to have a good, strong, 82hp crutch to keep up.  The pure power of the thing must be so intoxicating!

John, I live in Chile, were the 2010 Dakar was raced.
Maybe I could bring one of those beauties from USA. I'll see how to do that.
To this shores, nevertheless, arrives some other great brands that support the two stroke like TM, KTM and Gas Gas.
For now I'm trying to get rid of my CRF450F (yes, god, forgive me for I've sinned) and got my hands back on a KTM 250SX handlebars!
