I rode a Maico 400 for about 5 minutes circa 1973. Scary powerful for the time. The 1973 Maico 400 used a 386 CC air cooled two stroke single cylinder motor that made 44 HP with a 4 speed transmission and total weight of 216 LBS. https://motocrossactionmag.com/classic-motocross-iron-1973-maico-400/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine that same bike with double the HP !!! Another on the list of bikes I wish would come here - altho' no market for them. But what fun they were when they came on the pipe ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Damrongsak Posted December 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2021 Hodaka 125 Wombat enduro bike. I wish these type of bikes were more available these days. Relatively cheap, small and light but very functional. I liked my Suzuki TS125 in Thailand in 1977.

seedy Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Trask has this engine tuned to deliver upwards of 300 hp and 280 lb /ft of torque. Still think Harleys are slow? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Can you get 300 hp to hook up with one tire? I doubt it. I will file it in my engineering exercise folder. Triumph Rocket 3 has a bigger rear tire. Although it would be faster than my Zoomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 No high HP bike can hook with the rear tire fitted. Drag bikes even, or Moto GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red and white. I've had four-strokes, too, but slightly larger bikes. '86 Kawasaki Ninja 600 and '88 BMW K75s. Had dirt bikes late '60s and early '70s, mostly Hodakas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
