Looks real nice, I always find it funny when anyone referrs to a 1990's bike as 'older', a 1997 is a brand new bike.

Cool looking bike but where's your girlfriend? :)

Actually, that's not too far off the bike my mom used to ride.  It, too, was a 100cc Kawasaki, although it was street-legal and most emphatically did not hit hard.  Very easy-going and quiet little bike, but it eventually went away when my mom stopped riding and I got the 120.  Never did get to ride it, myself.

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?

Hey, you stole my idea!  That little two-stroke diagram in your signature was my original signature from way back when TSM was just starting as a forum.

Okay, sorry, back on-topic.

Just bolt a big propeller, like from a small yacht, to the crankshaft and have it coming out of the motor on the clutch side.  That should smooth out the power, just remember to use a good seal and insurance company.  Or have two of them, one on either side of the motor.  That way, the bike can never fall down!

took it out for a ride today with her, she loved it and so did i, at the start she was riding it like a 4 stroke but i told her to rev it a bit more and she had a smile from ear to ear, i took it for a ride too, haha picked up the front wheel 1st 2nd and 3rd, would be a very quick bike in a very tight track with sharp corners!!
