The maico at the end is not the Mx model and is not a 2014 and maico didn't stop making them in 2014. They still make them today. That was the maico enduro 685. Yes they did stop calling them the 700 in 2014, but that's because KTM absorbed maico to keep the legend alive, but in doing so maico has to let KTM build the engine and they had to rename the bikes by the true cc. You can order and ship a 2018 maico endure 685 from Germany to the U.S. for around $11,000 +/- U.S.. For the most powerful dirtbike ever produced at 80 something hp, that is a steal. They don't finance though. The maico enduro is street legal in Europe and America as it meet eu4 emissions standards.
Thank you for your comment, sir.
Ben Hawke the 685 is far away from the 11k $, it's 15500€ plus omologation and registration, so it will be around 20k $ (plus the shipping costs). And they are made not by ktm, but handmade on request by a ktm dealership who has bought the maico brand

Tomato/tomoto, potato/potpoto. And your prices and taxes in Europe suck ass because of the European union, socistlistcal import laws, and extortionate taxes. I did the math and to get a maico bought, delivered, and registered here in Washington state USA, it would cost me right around $12,378 U.S. . Hell it would only cost me $75 to register it hear for road use. Shipping would only cost me between $700 to $1200 depending on who I have ship it. That's why I put a plus or minus after the $11,000. To insinuate fluctuation depending on you're region, currency, and shipping costs. Man I'm glad I don't live where you do. I bet a pound of beef is like $20/Lb.
Ben Hawke mate I just read the price on Koestler site, nothing that's connected with taxes or else. 15k € is approx 17k$, plus shipping you're over 18k, so I'm not that far off. I don't know how you can have one for 11k, as I said I just read the pricing on the site.
PS I don't have to pay for my health, I prefere some extra taxes......
fede_ supermoto
Yeah I just looked. They raised the prices from what they were back in march.. but still not that bad. And the health care thing.. I pay $345 a month for healthcare. When they passed universal healthcare here called Obama care, I had to pay $1500/week for my family for the same coverage or go on government care with a $875/month tax for very minimal care and most things were out of pocket and it could take a week to get approval for a brace for a sprained ankle. Then Trump came in and removed the mandatory requirement to have healthcare insurance and insurance companies had to compete for business again. Now my rates are at $385/month for near full coverage for my entire family. I've lived both sides of universal healthcare and can tell you that it's a 1000 times better to pay for healthcare in a free and open market than have the government in charge of my care. Oh well, a few druggy homeless bums can't get same quality of healthcare, but they made their choices in life, why should I pay for them. Government healthcare was causing massive inflation and lowering everyone's quality of life.
Any man that rips up his own lawn with a dirt bike....has my complete respect.
lmao... word up
Did that to my dads lawn, he wasnt impressed
@@YZFMANIAC08 lol
Mine would come home from work and say good, you're aerating again 👍
Whatever you do, it always grows back.
I just love the sound of a 2 stroke dirt bike nothing like it
6:13 when you scared to hit power band
That bike had no power, a 500 should have massive torque
Do u realize that these big 2-strokes have the power at very low rpm it doesnt sound that its ripping but it is
That guy is a whoos
No you meant @ 5:52
As we can see on the WR, these old ladies are terribly effective when driven by good pilots; thanks for that good travel in our memories 👍!!
WR rider could really ride that monster
Nikolas Gibson that bottom end sound tight and zeroed in
I'd think with that much level ground a 4th gear wheel stand should have occurred. WR 500
I don't think he's been ass over tea kettle yet? At least not bad, lol. He could definitely get after it, he can ride! Wish I was younger, I just can't fall off anymore without breaking, something like a hip, lol.
Thank you. I ride in the 500 class all the time.
@@travisk5589 the wr500 looked and sounded the pick of the bunch by far, great riding too
The sound of that wr 500 is unbelievable 😍
That's the only one that really ever was opened up, To bad many of the other bikes did nothing but spudder !!!
That hurted my ears
It's a BEAST MAN 👍
@@juniordodewaard5998 you need new ears, They are faulty
Damn that Maico 700 must be a freakin beast
Damn.. Brings back some great memories. LOVE them 2 strokes!!
I had an 84 CR500 just like the one shown. I bought an 84 after reading in 85 Honda detuned it a bit with exhaust sub ports because it was "too fast". Of course I had to make it faster, Moose Racing did a "torque porting" job on it and I also had their 2 lb flywheel weight welded on. It made the somewhat of a handful stock powerband super smooth down low and the porting added quite a bit in the middle, the DG National expansion chamber gave a bit on top. I have no idea the HP but it was decently faster than it was stock and much easier to ride with the flywheel weight. That being said it would scare the shit out of me every time I rode it. I could keep up with anyone in the trails and never get off the pilot jet it seemed, however crack that thing open and you better be facing the direction you want to go and you better have your ass WAY up on the seat cuz your going for a ride. My friend who was a great rider took it for a spin and came back white, called it the "widowmaker" asking how the fuck I ride that thing. It taught me all about trailing throttle headshake and throttle control. 55 yrs old now and way too old to be on one of those, thanks for the memories.
great story dude!
Cool story man I remember back that I'm 42 now but people would buy them ride them once and send them in their garage you can find them for years after that just about brand new cuz nobody like them
awesomeness
charlie dee
WOOOW
sounds like a monster
rippin sumones butt and i love hearing about it
🙆
charlie dee Fuck Yes
Love the sound of those old 2 strokes, mine was a 1974 450 WR Husky and in those days we sometimes rode with uncapped pipes.
Man, that CZ 400 at the beginning nearly brought a tear to my eye. I raced one in 73-74.
My experience Garnet in the Jemez mountains outside the atomic City Ave Los Alamos of their race to the clouds climbing their mountains wraptite Yamaha mx250 that seemed to be parked as out of nowhere the CZ 400 roosted me with sparks cause of back tire not turning piston gave up the ghost losing my bearings bouncing off the side of the mountain Spectators below who were looking up in awh like slow motion as I vaulted the mountain Landing back in second place on the road
1:31 WTF THAT WAS AN EXPLOSION
I'm a 4T guy, but damn, all of these big cc 2T's sound throaty af. I'm half chubbed.
The WR 500 is the stuff of nightmares. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and i got goose bumps.
Recently asked my daughter in front of our 4 year old grandson what 2 letters of the alphabet that are right next to each other are the most dangerous. Without hesitation she said YZ. Imagine how proud that made me feel. She must have been paying attention when she was a toddler.
That's AWESOME!!!
She wrong the right letters are kx
Got arm pump just from watching these beasts
Got to love them big bore 2 strokes wish I still had my kx 500
That wr is sick AF
matt mcdowell you god dang right it is !!!!!! in
Some killer bikes
That 2-Stroke sound - it goes up it goes down. Has a life of its own.
Sometimes a disgruntled Bear, sometimes a very angry Bee.
Always smells like victory in the morning!
I had a Yammy WR 500, that guy showed how nice it handled. Slick bike. Eyes wide and hang on!
Let me know if want some more footage of that Husky 500 buddy! Thanks for featuring my video!
bassfisherman1254 how about a video we're u actually rev it out. Hit power band and shift.
it should be aginst the law to ride a 500 that way and it's a wonder u didn't foul a plug
Don't forget the YZ 465. They were pretty brutal.
Wr426
It465
The YZ 490 was even more brutal, assuming it hadn't seized up yet.😉😉
Until their logos read yz490 then it was serious as it become very real?z? but what was a 490 in red with on attitude of Lucifer's three headed dog a I Stand Alone with Maico to be light years ahead
✊😉👍 YAMAHA WR500 rider is the only guy riding the bike with real skills. Rest were sad examples of what these monsters really do. I spent alot of time on a brand new 99 kx500. Love that bike. Itd be a dream to ride the maico 700.
OMG I've died and gone to heaven! Nice bike.
My uncle had a husqvarna 500/
2 stroke it was pure insanity. Huge rear knobby tire...
the huge Tire you speak of has all new as one we called it the 550 Yokohama super digger Sod-Buster asteroid thrower stay out of my way here I come
Excelente colección !!!
macio did sound very nice too. low to no smoke, I like that too
Man I love all the big 2 strokers...its a miracle Im alive....the tm400 backnin 70s started it for me!
I had a tm 400 lots of pull but poor design they called it the cyclone for a reason frame wouldn't hold up wouldn't stop fish tailing you really had to.knowwhst your doing on a cyclone to unpredictable it was a great cultivater but fir racing no you had to change every thing to get it to handle still no good.the frame twisted a lot.just a unpredictable tork monster woud not be contolled
Suzuki stoped makein it real fast I had steel shanks in my boots
Just to start it.it was bendin the shanks in my boots way to dangerous and unpredictable when the power band hit you knew it look out
Take that
moter and put it in a CR then you woud have something
@@rickwaldren3633 yea, it was called cyclone... later in life I refered to it as the widow maker cause it could kill ya.
I love 2 strokes. Dirt and Street Bikes. The Kawasaki triple Street bikes were great. Love the smell of 2 strokes.
from the time the i was a senior at paris high school in 1968 to chasing them on the ski basin highway to the top of santa fe baldy some 11,000 feet or more those 3 braaaper meat grinders are door magnets passing through old chevys with closed doors shreding my short lived friends of i knew but one a santa fe cafe i would challange every saturday morning but one he dnfed with a no show ,asking the parts of santa fe which way did he go ..he said that ended last week as the lone 2pop 3 braaper kaw cafe missed a turn at the top in the shaded then fell for two miles straight down like wile E coyote that had to hurt as they picked him up using a spunge bob and body bag
the kh350 i rode in the eighties was great in burning oil. had a lot to smell. 😀
Don't you just LOVE that sweet 2 stroke sound? The bigger the engine the meatier it sounds.
Just for clarification, some of the hp numbers were quoted from the rear wheel whereas others were at the crank. The Honda CR500 made 53 hp at the wheel in 1984 and around 61 at the crank. The 85-86 bikes made 55-56 hp at the wheel and around 62-63 at the crank.
3:05 the kid who needs 500ccm 2 stroke to get forward
Why wouldn't you want one
Thats... just being an asshole
Missing the Maico 490, had one of those, beast!
Them old Maico 490s were the fastest bike in there time. Remember " MAGOO" ?
Long time KTM 420 owner here, I will always love the sound of a two stroke. The way my heart would race riding them, still have both the 420mc and 420gs. The memories are priceless.
I visited a small manufacturer in Utah. They were building a prototype with 850cc. Hill climbs were their motivation. About 2003
That must have been ATK. American made bikes in Utah using Rotax motors.
THIS IS MONSTER 😍
My dad iron manned the tecate score Baja 500 back in 1994 on a yamaha WR 500 2 stroke. Crazy nice bike
Abel, Your Dad has my respect and is theMAN.
@@davemenzimer5721 thank you! I aspire to be a great rider like him one day .
Oh to listen to that wr500 off the pin like that brings me lots of joy
Motos estão muito lindas parabéns
Maico 700 wow what a beast!
Just cool your jets kid they are only 685 that will certainly cause you to rub your eyes to clear does that Dyno read 95
Wow. I’m impressed the guy could kick that KX500 over. We used to have to pull start buddy’s with my Jeep and a rope lol.
I was born in 61. These are the bikes I grew up with and always have and always will love them. I’m 58 and I ride a KTM300 two stroke and a Kawasaki KZ 250 four stroke. I’ll never be as good as today’s youth but it’s still my favorite sport.
Loved the Maico
BRC Racing in Calgary Canada build modern liquid cooled 500 cc engines that fit into KTM 250 and 300 frames
Grandisimas Pura Sangre aguante el 2t.
5:04 worlds coolest dog !!!!!!!!
I grew up riding 2 stroke dirt bikes luved them...
I can smell the castor beans from here.
Man I love these older 2 stroke bikes
I love the Yama ha WR 500!
That WR was sweet as fuk..good pilot too😉
two stroke forever
👍🤜🤛
That's all there was back then of course no one ever had another thought European outdoor Supercross 2 indoor arena Anaheim flying off of the bleachers to the floor down below in an eerie bleached out blue Air with the smell of castrol high as a cat with too much nip but topping off the btew a full quart of klotz nitro crusty demons with just one fix
Several things on me snapped just watching that WR500 being ridden in anger 😫
It sure must be the big pleasure 2 drive Maico 700 :-)
alex, you say 2 strokes sound bad-some do but MOTO GP had 2 strokes until a few years back and they were absolutely wicked fast. Most of your modern diesel locomotives are 2 stroke engines. They out perform in every way compared to a 4 stroke. On bikes, the 2 stroke has immediate power.
Craig Pennington would love to see any same cc two stroke take either one of my track set kxfs my 250 and my 450 have destroyed all 2 strokes I've faced not saying there isn't one out there but to compare their power is stupid. Two strokes get 15% power band in their range while my 4 stroke has instant torque at any rpm. Not to mention I can hold my bike pinned for longer then 3 seconds without being scared to blow my motor. I get each rider has their own prefrence but you cannot say twonsteoke produce more usable power because that's straight up bullshit!
2 strokes make more power per displacement, that's a fact. 2 strokes and modern 4 strokes also have just about the same motor rebuild times now. 2 strokes can also perform longer at higher rpms due to lack of valves. 4 strokes are great and all, but after building my top ends at 30 hours and cranks at 60, I've only blown motors on my 4 strokes.
Dylan Powell
yes thats actualy d idea...
the're both great in sum way,,,
and for me i prefer two stroke...
@@dylanpowell2307 So much wrong in your message...
2 strokes used to have twice the power per CC. But that's ancient information.. It's so weird how many people just say these things without even looking up some information on this. The latest 2019 models of the 4 stroke Motocross bikes literally have the same amount of horsepower as their same displacement 2 stroke models, not to mention, they even weigh the same aswell, give or take a kilo or two depending on the manufacturer.
A brand new 2019 Yamaha YZ250, has 45 horsepower and weighs 99.3 kg wet
A brand new 2019 KTM 250SX-F has 46 horsepower and weighs 99.5 kg wet.
The most powerful 450 bike model of 2019 is the Honda CRF450R, which has well over 60 horsepower. The whole two stroke is way more powerful, and lighter weight arguments didn't work anymore and used to apply back when 4 strokes were low revving, torquey but low horsepower carbureted, air cooled bikes. You're wrong about the rebuilds aswell, 2 strokes require to be rebuilt allot more than 4 strokes. Yes it's cheaper to be rebuilt, sure. But it loses all that edge be requiring to be rebuilt at least 2 or 3 times within the same time you even think about rebuilding your 4 stroke. Not to mention that if you do regular oil changes, and filter maintenance and don't thrash the shit out of your bike every day, you can easily go wayy over the recommended rebuild time with your 4 stroke. I'm at 124 hours right now with my 2011 kawasaki KX250F, and i haven't touched the internals in the year I've owned it yet.
I have two friends that i ride with off road, and one has a Crf250x that he hasn't touched apart from regular oil changes and filter management, in the last 4 years of owning it, and probably putting at least 400, 500 plus hours on that thing
Dean Grimsell right, thats old info, new 4 stroke bikes are fuel injected and just simply built better now. I been into this stuff for a while, and i remember 2 strokes were faster bikes, until they started making 450 4 strokes. 400ex and the kaw/zuk 400s werent all that fast but when the yfz450 and trx450 came out they were just an entirely different breed. 500 and 600 and even 700 4 strokes were made and were still not faster than 450 4 strokes. The 450s changed the game. 2 strokes no longer have the title
When I was a spotty youf I scared myself half to death on a CR500 :-)
Damn, didn't even know Maico still made bikes. Good to know
Silly me I read the promo wrong I thought it was about JAWA motorcycles. Oh well I really enjoyed the video. I use to ride when I was young man always favored the 2 strokes. The most asome bikes I had back when was a 350 JAWA motocross bike and a tricked out 1972 H2 Kawasaki with all the denco accessories. IT WAS CRAZY FAST BACK THEN. DOESN'T COMPARE TO MODERN BIKES THOUGH. Hope everyone has nice day.
Jawa motorcycles is my passion for about 20 years. Thanks for comment, Sir.
The kx 500 looked sad
Totally agree - just didn't look right. Was that back number plate stock? Looked funky.
& the Guy is a shit rider !
Yeah, the guy needs to learn how to ride.
@@raysmetaltracks6782 yes; the side covers were a part of the rear mudgaurd back in the early 1980's.
Ugly but cool.
Yeah, I don't recall the plate off the back fender
Back in the 90s a fella had a CR 500 red rocket. We all used to off road down old pit turned mx track and that CR was an absolute beast of a bike . To be fair it was to quick and bit to heavy but my god when you opened the taps it was savage. We werent bad riders either . It had me in a shaking mess after 15 minutes of hanging on and wrestling with it lol . Mad bike but good fun.
Beauty amd power!!!
Maico 700, everybody's wet dream.
I NEED a WR 500 in my life
Right comment.
No yamaha 490's... For shame Jawa...For shame!
So?
I had one. An older 4 speed. Was a beast!
More torque you have, the fewer gears you need. 4 was enough!
Yeh 4th gear, pull the throttle back at 25mph, wait for it. Front end points toward the clouds, til ya top out @ 70mph !!
Wr500 had basically the Same Motor, but made more Reliable 👍😉
2:43 that back fender 😂😂😂
2 strokes are a musical instrument.
HELL THE MAICO..NEEDS THE SERENGETI TO OPEN UP FULL FORCE THIS DUDE WAS JUST IDLING
I had a cr500. Thing was a beast. Scariest bike I ever rode. Can’t imagine a 700.
700 you say imagine your worst nightmare you're sitting at the line waiting and waiting for a loan 700 Rider as he casually appears sorry I'm late guys but by the way who's turn is it to win today oh that's right it's mine
Belleza de motocicletas un icono de poder en sus motores únicas en su clase excelente video muchas gracias saludos 🤗
Such power. Such wow
The WR rider was the only one who really knows how to RIDE!
I was watching this video on my front porch and 2 girls walking by heard the ding a linga ding ding and panties went dropping... true story :D
"ding a linga ding ding"
5:21 that dude gets all the tale with that wave 🤚🏼
😍😍😍 I love it two stroke bike 👍👍👍👍👍
Wow, didn't know Maico was still around. Good vid.
mike sokolow yep. I was pricen this one was looking at bout $20k delivered ..and then plate it and go raise hell roost my bubs
I rode an it 465 when they came out,my hands were shaking a while after..
Here in Calif. a buddie let me ride his 465, when I got back they said, Damn Dave were gonna start calling you Rooster Cogburn. You were throwing dirt 30' behind you & high as a house. I raced Maico 400 when i was 15 i dig that power.
So much fun!
The guy at the end starting the Maico 700 engine with sneakers REALLY knows how to deal with. He would have ended up with a broken foot if something went wrong. It is probably as demanding as starting up a 4 stroke 600 single cylinder.
Im paralyzed miss riding. Still ride every now then but not like usta when broke my back on my bike.😎 Video 🤠
So sorry to hear. If you don't mind me asking, how did it happen? I've crashed a million times in my 37 years of riding and I'm 6'4. I'm surprised it never happened to me but luck was on my side I guess.
Joshua Roberg damnit boy. crank my neck years ago on a cr480 front brake got a recall on the cable wasn't right
Over jumped hill on huge up hill roller. Then my back touch back legs an rolled me😘🙃
@@donniebaker5984 my best friend June bug has broke his neck three times well. He's still alive I almost died to.
@@chayes954r Guess if u ride az much me my best friend shit bound happen loved it though I'm about start racing quads soon.
My brother was an elite driver in motocross here in Sweden, 250cc Husqvarna - he was in the team, in the gen before Håkan "Carla" Carlqvist
I was an average rider on the dirt roads and fields of Southern California on my Kawasaki 120 "Road runner." When I could get the bike away from my brother...
I like sushi and dirtbikes
MrKeys57 we got a basket case 79 husky. they bring $5k restored
Great rider on th WR !!
Oh man, the chap on the WR is the bee's knee's!
Maybe this has already been said, but you're missing the 700cc ATK 2 stroke single. It used a Rotax engine.
You may find this maico model is very similar to american made atk intimadator look at some pics.
Just give me a lightweight street legal 700cc 2 stroke single dirt bike so I can finish my bucket list. Have a few more Bigfoot families in southeast Louisiana that haven’t been sufficiently flushed out. This should teach nature a lesson.
Maico actually made a 760 back in the 80s, thats the biggest single cylender 2 stroke to my knowledge
Doorag Productions Doorag yup a 760cc 2st sounds mad
Not one puff of any smoke on warmup. Did someone forget the premix?
Never knew they made an RM500.. Learn something everyday.. I'd also love to ride one of those Maico 700's
Sorry.. Spell check
they seemed to be down 20hp on the Yamaha if the data is correct in the video.
I want to launch one of my bikes on the same terrain the guy on the WR 500 was on. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bike hook up and launch as good as that!
Where's the bad old blue Yammy IT 490? I owned one and it's amazing im still alive! Mix oil rip soil!!!
My brother had a 490 yz in the 80s . It's a mystery he survived 😂
Mines still around along with my dads 83 husky 500 xc.. no where did the xc get mentioned
I love this channel
Thanks!
JAWA TINO where are you come from?
JAWA TINO are you from Java indonesia?
I had an 85 can am 250 2 stroke when I was a kid and my buddy had a Yamaha 500, my bike left on him pretty good 👌🏻
Awesome
"Maico 501"falta!!

There was more than one WR from more than one manufacture but before anyone ever knew Brad Lake USA importer of maico shows up one day with the world's only one prototype the W r radial head 400 maico 1st ever polymer fenders side covers naugahyde seat replacing Mako brako aluminum in fiberglass as all others were as this is my best friend Brad Lakes $35,000 top secret until today fastest ever maico prototype that last as usual in his arrogant cocky way as all others are sitting on the line waiting for Brad to come play sorry I'm like boys still waiting for me oh by the way who's turn is it to win today oh that's right it's me and my bike I'm the only one in the world that cost $35,000 but free for me cuz i own the factory bought for me by daddy cuz he loves me
Just got hold of a 2000 model cr 500 such a beast
Even the dogs can't contain their excitement 😆
A 700 maico !!! Sick!!!
I miss my Elsinor cr500r it was dumb fast. I weighed 110lbs.
Should have drank lots of beer and duct taped your buns to the seat.
@@davemenzimer5721 why didn't I think, of that at 15yo. That would've been awesome.
I think that sc500 had a ignition advance switch was wicked
A friend of mine had a ported SC 500 with a custom expansion chamber. It was great once you figured out how to deal with the light switch transition to being 'on the pipe'. It was a bear to kick start and you really had to wear lace up high top boots in case it kicked back.
