RELEASE THE KRAAKEN; 700cc HEWA POWA 2024 MAICO 700 ENDURO FIRST ONE IN U.S.A!! 

Manic Mechanic is back, Hell Yeah!!

Ok I saw a mint looking 1973 Yamaha CT3 175cc gas tank on the floor next to the Suzuki RM. Where’s the rest of the bike? That was my first bike and here I am 50 years later still riding.

Of all the bikes ive seen on your channel would love to see you do a replica of evel kneivels xr750 next to robbies 500

😂 dedication man. Selling whilst on the run. Bucket list is a trip to the Museum and shop. Love and respect from New Zealand man

Unobtanium. Great to see Jeff back. Edit-Throwing a hotdog down a hallway. LMAO.

That's some serious respect when the manufacturer is learning from Jeff. Excellent video!!!

Absolutely gorgeous nice to meet you Jeff 700 cc absolutely gorgeous every Bell and whistle when I seen you ride it was a beast Kaplan Cycles number one God Bless America❤

Awesome video! 👍👌, I'm glad to see that Jeff is back at the shop again, and I love that gorgeous Maico 700, that thing will surefully rip the house right off the foundation!!!, I can't wait to see Two - Stroke Tuesday tomorrow, tell Jeff I said welcome back!, I still remember the video with the Suzuki GS, and the cops were coming down the road as he did a huge fat holeshot and wheelie, and I think you yelled at him to come back around lol, well anyways, Jeff is a legend, and I'm glad that you have him on your team of already skilled techs, I can see the passion in Justin's eyes every time he talks about motorcycles and he is always really enthusiastic, so he is also a great addition to your team as well, Thanks for the video as always, 👍😁😎👌

@ 0:01 Brings back memories. Back in the mid 80's my Dad and I were eating lunch one Saturday and my friends snuck in our shop and wrapped my '77 Elsinore and my IT 250 in duct tape, almost as much as that new Maico. God forgive me but at the time, I wanted them to bleed for that. 🤣

Man the colors are gorgeous. It's not a gas gas, but I think you need to keep this one because it matches all of your Factory team colors. That would look sweet on display when you haul your bikes around with the new semi. Or throw it in the back of your mini-truck thing that you bought from overseas!!! YEAH BUDDY!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE ROAD RACE JR ‼️💪🫡🇺🇸

This place is a museum... I'd pay just to spend an hour in there googling at all these beautiful machines ❤❤ great stuff

This is the unit

26.2😮 impressive! Congratulations on all your success. Can't wait to see that Honda with the big bat wing!... And two range gearbox

Good to see Jeff!

Awesome job on the marathon jr. Good to see Jeff and Jack back!

We gotta hear that Maico 700 rev my man! Cheers from Bakersfield, CA.

Welcome home manic mechanic . Just in time to play with a new toy. Awesome bike great video Ken love all the details you pointed out.

Wow, wow! Wasn't expecting another new Maico! So glad you're featuring another one! It's so cool to see a bike that has very little information on it up close and in depth. I love it! It'll be one of your best two stroke Tuesdays yet. Will you feature a supermoto version of it? You have some amazing bikes there; I love what you guys do and your mechanics must be in Heaven to work on such a unique variety.

GOTA LOVE ✌️STROKE TUESDAY THANKS KEN‼️ PS. 🥳HBD BIG KEN🫡🇺🇸‼️

WELCOME BACK TO THE MANIC MECHANIC‼️🫡🇺🇸

Cant wait for tomorrow

Damn Ken… that Maco is sick man! God bless Kaplan Cycle family 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good to see Jeff/Geoff back 👍💪🇦🇺

That’s a beauty. Cool street legal 2-stroke.

Hell yeah 2 stroke forever 🇺🇸🦅🤟🏼

Welcome back Manic Mechanic..I absolutely love Jackie. Jeff keeps his coat of hair gorgeous. That Maico is a gorgeous monster big bore. The fact that the Maico Manufacturer follows Jeff's lead speaks large volumes. Jeff is probably more knowledgeable than anybody that Maico has working for them. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. That truly blows my mind when Jr says he was doing business over his cellphone, at the same time he was running a 23 mile marathon. That's some seriously strong cardio that Jr has. Is that Maico more noticeably faster, with a much more aggressive powerband, and more torquey for the person riding it, compared to a person that would be riding another big bore 2 stroke mx dirtbike, like Jr's 1989 CR 500 with a racing engine on it?

Sidecar motocross!

DAMMM, that's the first time I've ever seen one. with some klotz, I can smell it all the way here in Michigan.. It has to be close to $16000 or better. What a beast. 2 strokes forever

Wow what a machine....❤ It!! 😊

So freaking awesome. Let me ask you, does that Mako 700 come with traction control and ABS being that it's street legal? I sure hope not.

Jeff looking so much like our Dad...Nice hair cut by the way.😁😁l😁

Spend some more time on the kawasaki enduro's. Love that blue 250, looked like a 1975, and the bighorn 350, wow great bikes

Holey Tuesday Time

Baja ready.

Awesome 700cc monster 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀🙏

LOVE that thing 💪💪

This is one brand I would love to see come back.

What a sick bike! Sounds terrifyingly fun. Biggest bike I've ever rode are suzuki 500cc, which know is no match for that 700cc monster!

Absolutely Beautiful machine. Cylinder is huge.

Yes please 🙏🏻 😍

Yeeehaaa Jeff Casteen is back where he belongs, the size of that Jug on the 700 😅 ,reminds me of a crucible for melting steel with an ARC furnace, and the carbon gasgas 125 is soooo beautiful 😍 😎🇬🇧🤠🙏🇺🇸

I had to replay to make sure I heard you say "get it through inspection" Are you saying that this awesome monster can be registered on the road? Please be true!!

Love the gold rims! Love the bike, beast!!

Holy torque monster Batman!! Would ya just look at it. Hewa powa

I'd love to see one of these 700's really worked to it's max potential. Close to 100hp should be possible with the right mods/tuning. I hear to really get the most out of that 700 engine you need an exhaust to match and the expansion chamber would need to be comically large.

Muy bonita 👏🏻

DANG MAN THAT THING IS WICKED! Just got my milkcrate/barnfind 75 BMW R75/6 running not as good as your scores but damn its kinda cool... ATB from the Ozarks...

Absolutely Badass!!! I covet thy Maico!!! If I didn't have so many project bikes in the barn now...maybe I could slide this past the wife...;-))

An Absolute Diamond

Curious about the potential if doing a full port n polish on that 700 2-stroke along with increasing the compression to around 10.3:1 or so and still run pump gas...betting it would wake from it's slumber

Gorgeous bike ❤. The only thing I would have to get used to a left side kick start but I would gladly learn..

Kaplan Crew best in the world bikes thank you all for our work keeping our church awesome

Damn i didn't know they were still around 😊

😍😍😍

Let's hope somebody that knows how to ride a bike purchases this one unlike the last one!!!! I'm still worried about that gentleman… 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅

MAJOR DROOOOOOOOL ❤❤❤

😍

Holy balls that jug is insane!!😂😂 I would not like that lefty kicker even with devomp switch. Where was this bike in the 80s when you could ride everywhere?And that would be sick unplugged and throw a climb swingarm on her see how she climbs

I'd sure like to see what the 700 two-stroke can do with a snow bike kit in the mountains

It has a kickstarter ............. I'd like to see that happen. : D

Manic mechanic. Yes

👹MONSTA✌️💨 ITS ALIVE‼️

Welcome back Jeff! What part of Florida do you spend your winter in? I'm in Panama City

would ya look at that, just look at it! EB.

How much is something like that out the door? I can't afford it either way but dang, motivation.

Is this a great starter bike?

Is Hewa Power a Maico built engine? Can't seem to find any info on it.

Oh man!!!! JEFFS BACK! Nice!!!! And a new Maico 7.... Sweet!!!! Remember - PVL usually makes quality ignition components!!!!

I want 1 where can I get it and how much

I could do that with the lights on!

How long is Jeff up for?

That's money well spent .

2024 Graphics....sounds like a drz400sm salesman🤣🤣

How rough is kickstarting that bay boy?

What is the Cost?

Any chance you can weigh it? The claimed weight of 111kg seems a little unbelievable.

The lucky soul that gets this...SM setup mandatory. Street legal big bore 2 stroke dirt bike from the factory...Unheard of in the US, these days.Most of the work is done for ya. Lucky mofo, congrats!!

How much?

Got tape? How much for one of those things??

Only a superhuman strength Sasquatch could tame that beast 🦖

That cylinder reminds me of a nuclear reactor. I guess it will be making some power.

That 700 on idle will cause an earthquake lol

But why is the Kickstarter on the left ?

can you compare to STARK VARG ??? please !

Absolutely fucking gorgeous 😍😍😍 regards Richard London UK 🇬🇧

Need to get it street legal

Yo are you coming to Minerva New York this summer

Factory upgraded by Kaplan wizard tuning?😂

First

Is the Maico 700 legal to race in any motocross races ?

What’s the price on this bad boy. Is it still available

There’s more than just forks from KTM

Hey Kenny does that have one of those clap on clap off starters LOL

In order to stay out of the hospital, I'm just gonna look at it.

Man the gold rims ive never liked but she will be a rippa after jeff puts the manic touch on it

Is there any truth that Jeff your master mechanic was the head mechanic for Jim Ellis ? one of the foreman here at work told us over lunch that in MID 1980S Jim Ellis competed in The Finke Desert race here in Australia and Jeff took care off hes KTM 495 as nobody here could set up that bike like your master mechanic

I thought Maico shut down in the late 80's

What's the price for the Maico??

Where’s the electric start!?
