  • It’s my first time riding one of the most powerful and impressive dirt bikes of all-time, a 1981 Maico 490. Join us at the Two Stroke World Championship from Glen Helen Raceway as we check out Gary Kortz’s amazing, modernized Two Stroke Maico 490. We may even see a mild dirt bike crash when this bike gets away from Kortz. #motorcycle #dirtbike #racing #2stroke #twostroke

    The mako 490 was an absolute beast when it was running

    Every bike kid's wet dream back in the day. I can't remember even ONE girl who could make me look away from one of these bikes.

    I've got plenty of experience on the comparatively tame 1982 RM465. These big bore bikes have a way of getting away from you quick.

    I owned a Honda CR 500 absolutely brutal power. Really miss those days. Nothing compares to those big bore two strokes.

    Was a smooth nice bike .
    I had Kx 500 was ten times more violent .
    Maico was easy to race .
    I later got a Honda CR500 the best .

    That was cool that guy let you ride it. I gotta 82 yz490, 80 yz250, and 81 it175. This reminds me of the first time i rode a big bore 2 stroke. suzuki rm465 wow its fast.

    This was the power king in 81, but during those days of mega fast development, the Spider lost its lustre by 83, being overtaken in the chassis and suspension departments. Fun bike though.

      Not the power king, that title goes to the 81 KTM 495

    Oh my. More of my friends in the 70s broke arms and legs on Maico bikes. Yeah the Yz490 was a killer as well and the Cr500 but those broke traction constantly where the Maico dug in and killed you on the corners.
