Those of you who have observed my sig probably know what's coming.

This first one is a 1967 Kawasaki 120, modified to the balls. The forks extend past the axle, in the style of '70s bikes after Maico introduced the concept. The biggest change is the pipe, which has no silencing equipment whatsoever, but instead offers a large expansion chamber with a stinger. I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no, it's not legal most of the time. The 120 has four speeds, ranging from the "tree-climbing" first to the "just-barely-fast-enough" forth, in spite of the positively tiny rear sprocket. This bike is renowned for revving right up with the best of them, into the 11K - 12K range. This bike feels like it has the torque of a 250, it is never more at home than when on an incline. Even at idle it is ferociously noisy and the sound is that of pure heaven. We have a silencer for it, and that curiously makes it sound precisely like a quiet Husqvarna 250, complete with that unique whirring sound. The rubber and emblems on the tank are original factory Kawasaki.




Next, and last on my current list of bikes is my beloved 1982 Husqvarna 250CR. This is a somewhat unique '82 Husky because it has a silver tank rather than the red+mirror they came with. We are considering painting it red like it came or going green like the Automatic Huskies. We got this bike for a mere $800 and it was in terrible condition, not even willing to run unless under high RPM. After some considerable work, we got it to have almost unmatched low-end and midrange for a 250, and an explosive powerband that was hard to get to because it didn't like full throttle. Now, we've replaced the air filter and basically cleared out the silencer to make it a lot more powerful (hopefully, haven't tested this) and a lot more friendly to higher throttle. We estimate that its horsepower is approximately equal to the '81 250 Maico at 42 or so. The front end is currently very hard so we're going to drain some oil, then if that fails, just flat-out replace them with '79 or '80 Husqvarna forks, which are truly the best anyone has ever made. This is a big statement from me, because I'm a firm believer in Maico engineering. I know I need a new seat cover, we're not going to ride it anywhere until it either gets some temporary duct-tape or a new cover.





Here's both together, for a sense of scale.


Bikes I've owned in the past:
Suzuki JR50, year unknown
Yamaha GT80, early '70s

Bikes my dad currently owns (Amazing!):
1981 490 Maico - lightly ridden only thrice
1981 250 Maico w/ chrome pipe and early '70s GP coffin-tank
1978 440 Maico - only 100 were ever built
1979 390 Husqvarna - motorcycle I grew up with
1985(6?) 500 M-Star - rebranding of Maico, google "What killed Maico"
1977 360 Husqvanra - MX bike custom-modified to be enduro
Early '70s 100 Yamaha - low power, insane RPM
1971(?) 250 Kawasaki - "Green Streak"
1970 350 Kawasaki - "Big Horn" enduro
1977 250 Maico - Wheelsmith modified, best-looking bike ever made

Yes, those bikes of his take up an entire two-car garage. My uncle has even more, but not as many running well.
