The 81 Maico 490's do pop up from time to time and if they are restored will run about 5,500-6,500. If you check out my other video's you will see a nice 1981 Maico 490 example.
ok, so now that i am drooling all over my lap, about how much would it cost if i bought a fully restored 490, and how much of my life am i going to spend looking for it?
My 1979 400 was a pig to start from cold, it had the Bing carb which meant I had to lay it over and flood the hell out of it. It was a real man's bike- any 400 single with a decompressor and a left hand kick frightened most competitors. You have a seriously nice collection there- VERY envious!
Like I say in all your videos VERY NICE! lol you have a great collection and they're all in great shape. If I lived closer to you I would love to come by and see all your bikes. Vintage bikes are my passion. Take care
Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. Let me know if you get to FL and I will show them to you. Keep an eye out for my upcoming video's. I will be uploading 3-4 more soon.

I have raced and I like the 79 CR250. If you want to race a big bore bikes the 78, 79 and 80 RM 400's are real nice when it comes to power band.

Your neighbours must love you!
If I was your neighbour you'd 'love' me as I would always be around asking for a ride :) Anything will do ...
What a beautiful collection.
