I guess it depends how "retro" you wanted to guy. Yellow/black, or red/white?

You could also do a black frame and motor, with silver plastic and red striping if you wanted to really look prehistoric.  I don't know how well that scheme would work on today's bikes though, so I'd recommend the yellow/black, personally.

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.

White and red

If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.

nah, my vote goes for the yellow/red and black. White and red was awesome, but I kind kind of like black and yellow/red better like they did on the 85 and half tri-z 250.
85

85 1/2
Edit, this might be an 86 with black plastic, but you get the point.

86


These to me, are the best looking bikes ever made.

There should still be Bob Hannah yellow/black graphics kits available for your bike.

I still say either the yellow and black for ultimate good-looks.  But if you're out to really turn heads en masse, giving it graphics to emulate a Yamaha from BEFORE the YZ would really do it, kind of like how Service Honda made some CR500AF's in an "original Elsinore" motif.

What did Yamaha have before the YZ? Unless you're talking about the MX line which were yellow and black or did you mean the ugly silver ones
