thebam1332 Store Very Rare 1974 MC250 Vintage MX MotoCross UNRESTORED ORIGINAL 1974 Maico MC250/4 MC MotoCross Last of the true 'vintage' Maicos The suspension revolution was in full combat attack mode and every manufacturer was scrambling with this 'new' technology and trying desperately to stay ahead of their competitors and out do one another. Maico would come out with no less than 5 FIVE models in 2 TWO years!! from 1974 to 1976 a NEW bike was introduced virtually every six months!! and if you weren't racing on the latest & the greatest bike available that particular week, you were out classed and obsolete. This very rare 74 model was the last iteration of the true short travel MC model line, as the tiny W. German Maico factory was busy preparing the '74.5 GP's for production and distribution. All numbers match each other---frame--both data plates---motor.This bike is all stick and origianl with the following exception: grips (Scott), throttle, Pacifico plastic replica front fender, Circle Industries gas cap, WheelSmith brake arm, and WheelSmith foot pegs.----that's it! This bike is a total find still sporting it's original Metzler 6 days tires (good condition), Radaelli rims (front has some chrome peeling-see-photos, pipe & rear bracket , surface rust wear side stand, shrouded Girling shocks (still dampen), bolt-on crossbar handlebars, early Magura controls , seat & cover (usable but has tears, see photos, all fiberglass (except front), forks & boots, Bing carb, cables, wheels, sprockets, chain, bolts & fasteners, etc. etc.. Bike has paint scratches, & scuffs, surface rust, patina & red paint splatters on the tank. It just had an oil change, new oil filter, & fuel lines replaced. Runs Great! Email me, [email protected] for a video of it running. VERY HARD to find these bikes unmolested and original as production numbers were extremely low, and also due to many owners chopping up their frames and moving up the shock positions trying to make them competitive with the later bikes. Almost impossible to find a '74 250 Maico like this anymore. If you like unrestored originals, this is it! Buyer is required 100.00 immediate deposit. Cash due upon pick up. Buyer to arrange pick up. Bike is in Auburn Hills, michigan. see all photos below enlarged for condition and details
