That was very cool! Thanks!

Notice how the four-stroke was able to pull the 125 going up the hill? Not sure if it was a 250F or 450F, but it was noticeable....

Life is short.

Yes it was noticeable.What i did like is when he would hit a hole or bump and he could just keep it pinned.Try doing that on one of those street bikes they market.

Well of course.  125s and even 250s aren't hill-climbin' machines.  Their emphasis on high-strung horsepower isn't very well suited to fighting the forces of gravity.  A 400-500, on the other hand, pulls like there's a Saturn V rocket chained to the steering head.


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?

I love the sound of a 125 at full tilt. She just keeps on screaming til you release the throttle. But it's so addicting you want to keep it pinned!! :P
