All right then, now that we have that out of the way, Ford could I interest you in a prime piece of southern Florida real estate? :D

I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

Oh come on ford, you are clutching at straws there.
Are you seriously going take the word of Stefan Merriman on that vid.
What has he ever done on a bike that warrants any kind of respect. ;)

If you don't fall off you are not going hard enough

True. :D
I had to chuckle at the "I expected more from a 490 and avoid bumps like the plague" parts. ;D He seems like pretty laid back guy.

Yamahog riders just don't like Maicos.

Never heard of him. Since the 4 strokes took over I haven't kept in touch with pro racing.
He's riding an enduro model.
Those are the same comments I made about the 2008 YZF450 I tried back in 08. Seems like you have to rev it to 10 grand for it to go. Heavy feeling, too.
   Ford needs to contact Brad Lackey, Marty Smith Chuck sun and Bob Hannah about their thoughts of the 490 Maico.

450s are so lame... I see them farting their way around the track without sliding without whipping without leaning right over and it just sucks. Fttthhhhooppp!!!!

Merriman just scared to open the Maico-490 wide open! I always say "If you're scared say you're scared!?" He was clearly scared.....Lol.. ;D

In reality, Maicos built after 1977 are durable motorcycles. My 1983 Maico 250 was more reliable then my Suzuki RMX 250 by a significant margin, made nicer power and handled better.

Being better than an RMX would be about the same as saying at least  your wife looks better than the fat ugly chick down the street. :<img src=" title="Roll Eyes" class="smiley">
