That’s a beauty and sounds great. Thanks for the video.

Arguably one of the best motocross machines ever made!

I agree except for the "Arguably" part. If you replace that with "Unquestionably" I'm along for the ride

Us older guys never can get enough hearing the growl of a big bore motocrosser. A real motocross bike. I can almost smell that smell oww oha that smell. Lol. Oh. Thanks for that trip down memory lane.

Taking that first 25 seconds to start is EXACTLY how these are from cold & why I have a roller starter now to save the shafts and kickstarts. Easier when warm though. Walking past that RS250 at 0:48 too which I also own along with my 2 x Mega 2 490s and a 440. Long live the 2 stroke!

Maico MX 490 often considered the best twin shock chassis configuration ever produced for an air cooled model. 1983-84 Husqvarna CR WR OR chasis may have eclipsed it could be argued. Often considered the greatest, most influential MX'er ever produced. The 1974 Honda CR125 Elsinore was probably far more so. The 1981 490, as an overall package available in that year, was ultra competitive until about 84-85. How the 98 Yamaha YZ400F ever was voted a notch better than the Maico is beyond me!!

@joequillun7790 Год назад

Was wondering the same thing Steve.

@kextrz Год назад

For a very long time I wondered why some of those big bores had a left kick, while 90 percent of the population is right handed (or right feeted in those particular cases). Since those monsters didn't have a side stand, I guess the best way to start them was NOT sitting on the bike. Can someone shine some light on this topic?

@adamscott9725 10 месяцев назад

I believe Big Bore 2 stroke with left kick starters was built for sidecar racing. I could be wrong, but I believe that's the reason.

@judgetk8327 9 месяцев назад

My brother and I ran a souped up Pursang and he had 490. When it was damp out and it could be hard to start if theTDC was set up to rip it was easier to do a push jump on and bang your ass on it to get it to kick over. Not only that but when they put the trani together it was cheaper to have it on the left. There were just more pros than cons on the subject and we lived in that day so you hear stuff then that you don't hear now. Basically it came down to weight and easier to start by a push. It would have taken a lot of machine work to put the kick on the right. Like I said. It all came down to cheap and lighter. Ride safe boys.

@jamespolucha8790 Год назад

I have one of these and can’t sell it , never had a bike like this just fits like a glove and handles perfectly, my moto plat ignition went out and I’m thinking of PVL

@Kevin-wd2is 9 месяцев назад

The big bore bikes from Japan had kickstarter on the right side after breaking your leg trying to start your bike you buy a Maico just for that reason

@zennbubba 9 месяцев назад

I raced a 440 M back in the day.... I had my race buddy just hook on to me with a tow strap and pull me off to get started for the first start of the day after that it would bust off one or two kicks but not that first cold one ohhhh hell no.

@nathanlambshead4778 Год назад

A guy I worked with back in 82, (in South Africa) had one of these. I rode it once. A monster. The cops actually borrowed it from him to catch someone who was taunting them and getting away into the bush with his Honda 500 Thumper. They said he was quite surprised when they nabbed him in no time at all on this fire breather.

Back then we had a bunch of guys that lived down the street and we had spoil banks behind us that we had carved out a half mile course. 2 of their friends went and bought a brand new 490 brought it the same day out to ride. They started kicking on it and eventually it broke one leg a piece backfiring on them. Wish I knew what happened to it.

@DickDebonaire Год назад

This video had me wishing I would have bought one back in the day. But after you're comment about broken legs maybe it's a good thing I didn't
