I see. Well I definitely understand why you guys like air cooled engines then . But what about overheating?

I can't tell you how many times I been out with water cooling guys and their bikes overhead after a hillclimb or just for going slow through the tight and technical.  Its funny because sometimes they blow steam out of the bottom of the bike and whistle.  The longest I ever seen it was several minutes.  So it's not true that water cooled bikes do not overhead, if you do not get air going through the rads the bike will still overhead.  I would reccomend putting a fan on those things for trail riding.

Hey man, your English is much better than a couple of native-speakers I know, don't worry about it!

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?

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

Hello
I`am also new here and from the Netherlands (sandtracks heaven)
So andreschubert6 don`be afread for your Englisch ,its  not mine first language also. ;)

To the subject:
Disk brakes, suspension, ergonomics, are the only real progress they make.(even alu frames are fake)
I`am realy sure if someone or a firm would produce now a modern aircooled twostroke dirtbike with pds system and modern ergonomics
and a Maicolike powerband it became a huge succes!!
It wil be simple, very low priced and  maintenance
It would be the perfect dirtbike for the fun riders. And don`t forget ,just for fun riders, are the biggest part of all riders.
And racing against each other, with these bikes on on  approacheble races ,would be bring back al the fun and happiness as like early years, of dirt riding

Can you figure a 1981 Maico produced with the today`s high leveled production tech ?

So i have spoken  ;D
