Will there ever be another 1981 Maico 490?

If only Otto und Willy were still alive to see what has become of their namesake,I think they would be very pleasently surprised. It seems the 81 MC490 has transcended time and become a sort of raceable artwork.

As a youngster,I recall seeing Lotus Cortinas, Tiis and Gordini Renaults racing at the local track. There was a hairpin corner where the 911 Porsches would lift their inside front wheel when they got on the gas.

1:45:37? Doesn't someone have school in the morning?

That's a ridiculous tank sticker, though somehow mysteriously awesome.  Although, as interesting as the story of the Cortina was to read on Wikipedia, I have to be a little more drawn to the tale of the Charger Daytona.

Yes, for some reason when Maico Only opened a shop in the UK they like to use the US flag on their page and apparently on their bikes they are selling in the UK.  I guess it's like FU we are American Company B*tcha$$es.  I don't know, not a logo I would have chosen, its not used in the US.

That is an awesome looking bike but I would go with an original looking tank
