Maico 700 Two Stroke (2 Stroke) ATK Intimidator Dirtbike (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GiRtQZlnbw&app=desktop#)
;D ;D ;D
To put this thing in perspective, it had roughly the same HP as the new Ducati Scrambler but weighed 150 lbs (!) less.
Yea, I'd like to slap some street tires and a tag on that and absolutely terrorize my town.

Ohh.
Emm.
Gee.
Supermoto. [evil]
FWIW, had a 1979 1/2 440 WR which was geared for tight woods. You had to wear plastic boots and stand well to the side to start it or risk a broken foot! -1T in the front, on the street with knobbies it would wheelie at will in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th with a mere crack of the throttle. Hit 75 MPH once according to the VDO speedo. Desert racers with stock gearing no doubt went 10+ MPH faster. It was fast anyway... 8)
This one has 10" at both ends. Later Maicos were too tall for my 5' 8+" in deep woods. Ran out of free time about then anyway. :'( Maicos are magic. Had a 250 WR coffin tank before that one...
