Maico gained a reputation in the 1970s for off-road machines, and soon were making military and off-road machines predominantly. In the 1980s they hit money problems. Staggering on, they lurched from crisis to crisis with assistance from other sources, and production slowed to a trickle, but appeared never actually to stop completely. This 500 Cross is believed to date from approximately 2003 when production was very low, and is thus a rare, unrestored, example of the marque from that period. With a water-cooled 500 two-stroke motor, disc brakes front and rear, box-section swinging arm, sturdy forks and tubular frame, this was a useful competitor in its time. Purchased for the collection in 2007, it will require re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown. There are no documents present, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
