Picked up some really nice stuff this weekend as part of a package deal and it needs to find a new home. Pristine 1976 AW250 built with loads of new parts that he ended up with probably 13 plus grand in and a 1980 250 in the midst of a resto. The 80 model 250 had a shifting problem with second or third and he decided to have a complete 400 engine built from scratch with mostly nos parts , Motoplat electronic ignition and a new Bing carb. Never started. Frame has been blasted and painted, big pegs fitted, two tanks painted, Works Perf. shocks, new Maico Only pipe and silencer, new plastics, graphics , seat covers, new Thor aluminum swing arm and lots of misc. small parts.

Just need to know what & where to polish.
Might still be making bikes!
Might let a few people know about you.
List them on the Yahoo Maico group & AHRMA site.
You could also list the on marks Vintage site.
I'd love to have the 76, But I still have to build my project 83 Maico 490!
BTW: What Gun did you get?
Gotta love being a yougin and full of piss and vinegar and getting a good taste of that Maico power though!

Gorgeous bike. Never had a Maico, always thought they were beautiful...and the AW stuff is classic.
