'New' Maico's on Ebay

Oh god! For that price they can go put it where the sun don't shine

You've obviously never built a bike similar to that from every new trick part that you could get your hands on. Expensive for sure, overpriced for what they are? Not at all. I've spent over ten grand hard cash building bikes from the ground up on quite a few occasions. As a matter of fact, it is pretty easy to do. Occasionally though, some people with a great appreciation of what you've done come along with large sums of cash and they go to a new home.

Big bore reed valve Maico cylinders bring over a grand by themselves, new Ohlins piggybacks are up in the $1500.00 range these days. Build a set of complete wheels like that, up to 2 grand rigged out with billet backing plates, machined hubs, brakes, bearings, spacers, sprockets, tires, tubes, rim strips and rim locks, stainless, spokes, nipples and custom drilled and anodized rims. Custom alloy tank, probably a grand. Swingarm with chain guide and hardware, $750.00, PVL ignition, $500.00, new carb, intake, v=force, air boot, filter....$500.00-600.00, Billett triples, $500.00, nickled Pro-Form exhaust $500.00. The list on those bikes go on and on and on. I could add up well over $14,000.00 in hard parts alone, let alone the hundreds of hours of labor that went into building them. Might not be your cup o tea, but your comment was off the mark.

Maxxis tires? No Metzlers?!

I am curious to see if they sell, they are nice but I think they over estimated the market

Nice looking Maico Machines but all look nice to me!!!Sadley it not 1968 when you could get one for a grand Ha!! My dad's Maico 360 Enduro in 1968 he puchased it in Tuson AZ.

Correct,
The quality of a build like that is expensive. I personally think it is probably a good deal.
Turn key state of the art vintage racer, with modern durability.

Nice looking bikes.I wish.

I had a 68 Maico 360 GS in 1977...As a matter of fact it was my first Maico. Bought it for 300.00 from a neighbor of mine, and rode that 4 speed bike for 2 years, and then sold it locally for $250.00...If knew then what I know now, I would've never sold it...uh-boy...In the words of Vic Krause, "you should have known"...

Luckily, (well, maybe not) I found a 68 Maico 360 MC which I am painstakingly (**lotsa money) restoring....This is the most expensive restoration yet...Including the purchase of this bike, I've got about 6500.00 into this bike, and I still am waiting to get my motor back from my local builder (**lotsa money), still have to buy rear shocks, a new exhaust, PVL ignition, new Mikuni carb, have custom a intake manifold fabricated. and am currently having my front forks rebuilt and polished....Unless, I win the lottery, this will be my last frame off restoration for a long, long time...yep, Newmann is right, it adds up very quick...

But I can save you money on the PVL...
