I wonder how it would stack up against the '81 490, given the same type frame. Be most interesting.

General Two Stroke Talk / 2011 Gas Gas 300 Test

« on: May 16, 2011, 02:40:03 PM »

Here's a review of the 2011 Gas Gas 300, since a couple of recent threads involve the brand. I'd love to see a head-to-head test with this bike against the 2011 KTM 300. Both appear to be excellent machines. -->

General Two Stroke Talk / A 1981 Maico 490 Mega 2 vs a 2003 KTM 525SX

Here is the test I referred to in one of my posts as disturbing under another topic. Is something wrong here, you Maico experts out there, or would a 1981 490 Maico really lose or stay even with this thumper? I know from a Dirtbike mag test earlier this decade that the KX500 Kaw easily beat this thumper and the Honda XR650 in drag races and it seems to me the old Maico should have here too. Anyhow, here's the test article. --->
