Maico motocross and enduro racing models proved very successful in both European and American competition throughout the 1970s. While lacking the financial capital and big money race-team backing like that of the Japanese factories, Maico riders such as Adolf Weil, Åke Jonsson and Willy Bauer proved to be serious challengers to the Japanese factories and produced numerous top-three finishes in the Motocross World Championships. The firm also experienced some success in Grand Prix road-racing competitions with rider Börje Jansson winning three 125cc Grand Prix races between 1972 and 1973. Maicowerk AG filed for bankruptcy in 1983, but continued to produce small numbers of motocross and enduro models until 1986.
A recent shed discovery this Maico is a rare survivor today along with a couple of other Maico models within the sale. In mainly original condition it has not been running. An ideal restoration project as viewed. There is no documentation with this lot.
