Thank you, I appreciate that. You are right about this Era of bikes having character. Each manufacturer had its own flair. Kids today will never know how cool this Era was
Wow ! This brings back memories, great job ! I bought this exact bike in 1977 . $1650.00 Australian dollars . I have some pics somewhere . This was my 3rd Maico but the previous 2 were 250's . I won my clubs C grade champs on this rocketship. My next Maico was a 1978 high pipe AW 400 but with a lighting coil and full registration, unbeatable in the bush !
I was grade B champion of all Ireland riding the 76 version of this bike with silver tank and white mudguards. Man those were the days as Bruce would say glory days lol.
Thanks James! I was just thinking about you the other day. Motor is done on the 79 rm400. Getting ready to break the rest if the bike down for the resto
