Freakin handfull there.
3 grand?
The 82' motor is just like the 81' except it had a little better porting from the factory!
It's a good deal for $3200! It just doesn't have any bling on it like the Ohlins or the trick aluminum parts which would make it sell for more!
I seen 81' 490 go from 3K to almost 8K on Evil-Bay.
The Shop
A good friend of mine ported a '81 490 cylinder that Dave Coupe rode for a practice and it scared the pants off of him.....those '81 490s IMO were awful good motors without reeds and plenty powerful stock. A few diehard Maico evo riders use the '81 490 motors.
No Maico expert here however. Bultacos.....yeah; kinda.....hehehe.
It's still for sale! I just saw the owner last Sunday @ Rio Bravo & he still has it. he dosen't like e-bay for some reason?
I have his contact number if you intrested.
