Oh thats nice! Great bikes. My cousin had a Maico 400 back in the day. Absolute animal of a bike. Closest i got was my XT500. So much fun.

Had a few goes on the XT500. Absolute beast but the torque was brilliant!

Nice trio of bikes. I particularly like the kettle :heart:

Is that a CX500 hiding at the back

Yes it is. Ive spent 3 years and too much money restoring it and its now sold and waiting to be collected. The Kawasaki is for sale but I’d love to keep it really. And the Suzuki just arrived yesterday.

A few very nice 2 strokes at the Castle Fraser show today.





RD400 with a Fahron top end. Quite rare to see these now.
