Whilst we're waiting for the parts of theCB750 project to be delivered we're at a sticking point, so a perfect time to introduce you to the restoration project set for Spring 2019. The 1982 Maico 490 2 stroke motocross bike. This bike has been sitting for the last 6 years in damp storage, so it needs good TLC.

Wow ! Maicos got better looking over the decades ! Still has their signature radial head cooling fins design. Bitchin' ! A big thumper, one-lung, 2-stroke = massive torque for sure !
Really looking forward to this build!!
Glad to hear, it'll be a tidy one
This is going to be an awesome build man, I am looking forward to watching it! I love that I'm doing an old 2 stroke bike restoration at the same time as my favorite TH-camr/bike builder!
Thanks, appreciate it.
I love the Maico and all the 70s scramblers, looking foward to this one!!
Amazing.
can't wait for the cb750 videos
Will be soon, hoping to do the electrics video in fewer parts than the CX
Love those two strokes.
Nothing feels like what you feel sitting on a 2 stroke and it rattling.
This will be cool to watch! I might be able to use some of these videos to help me with my TS-250 cafe racer project!
Thanks, hopefully there isn't too much to do on it.
Ahh yes been waiting for this since you announced it in one of your videos.
Classic 2 stroke beast! Cheers!
Yes I had you in mind when I was filming it.
Lol well thank you! Looking forward to this and CB750 start up as well. ✌
fantastic looking bike
Sure is, considering it's a 37 year old MX
I'm really looking forward to the Maico 490 restoration. Watching from Northern Ireland
Thanks, hopefully we'll get it back to its glory again
Maico hell yeah!!!!
Yup.
Nice maico you have🤟
Thank you, I'm lucky to have it
Nice build very rare now them had one years ago not for the fant hatted great videos love the content really interesting to watch
Still kicks ass today!
awesome crazy bike to ride. I have a vintage Maico sticker here somewhere. I'll find it and mail it off to you.
Ah how amazing, gotta have some of those green ties too :) I'll DM you my address on instagram ;)
Maico & old Husqvarna/Husaberg makes the coolest enduro/motocross bikes imo.
I don't mean necessarily the best but I've got somehow love for these bikes.
And my god these new Husqvarna street bikes are sweet af.
I know what you mean, considering they're 37 year old tech with drum brakes & steel frame they can still hold their ground
Maico 490 i am going to restore a maico 490 1981 and also a maico 250 this winter so intresting to see the restoration
Amazing, best of luck, I'll be starting it soon.
super duper moto
It is very super, but won't be a super moto ;)
where do you get parts for a Maico
Muy guapa esa maico
Thanks
Those are some knobbly tyres man! I'm not personally that big of a fan of trails bike's styling but I guess they're for off performance not looks. Should still be interesting to watch the restoration tho
That's fair to say, it won't be a massive build or part of the channel but worth documenting
@@forthebold fair enough. Enjoy all your videos anyway 😀
Should be interesting to watch. What I remember about bikes in that era, the electrics were crap and the plastic quality was iffy too.
yeah the originals were, new UFO plastics were put on this back in 2011, and hasn't been bleached by the sun this time.
How about a flat tracker build after the maiko
Possibly. I wouldn't mind getting into flat track racing.
Have you released a video on your design ideas for this bike?
It’s staying completely stock. Purely a restoration.
@@forthebold oh right... it does say restoration doesn't it.
Maico? Never heard of them.
Ha ha. It’s a good job I’m a fan of your channel. I’m very envious of your massive collection.
@@forthebold Haha thanks, cant wait to see it done going to be an awesome bike
Yz 490???
No, Maico 490
Have a look at g9garage for more of this type of video
Will do
Stock
Yup.
Jesus, you love starting projects in the middle of other projects. Upload GS550 vids
If you’d watch it you’ll hear me say I’m introducing the bike whilst I’m waiting for CB750 parts. Not going to start it until that’s done. Also gs550 is finished.
What a bist
Beast
Sure is
