Boerklong Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 DTs are amazing little bikes. Had the 50 and 125 back in my school days. The stock 125 exhaust outlet opens any beer bottle. We had lekker times. nathrix and Skylark 2
CAAD4 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Were were a "gang" of four DT175 riders. My boet even had a Supertrapp exhaust on his. We managed the extend the rear travel with a piece of pipe and and fork extenders machined to increase the clearance up front. With a nice Ascerbis mudguard they almost looked like the YZ's. nathrix 1
Boerklong Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 My friends with 175s all made 125 stickers so the speedcops wont bother too much Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

CAAD4 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Had a Maico 440 when I was in high school. The subtle, evil powerband threw many mates off in spectacular fashion. Undun 1

I have never had the "pleasure" of having a go but if opportunity came knocking I'd have to think long and hard about answering the door.... I believe that it was involved in a land speed record attempt for dirt bikes? http://bioflexbeast.com.au/index.html Not sure what happened though... http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m275/mat_p/null_zps9dd2b5a7.jpg ChUkKy, the nerd, Undun and 6 others 9

mazambaan Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 The 700 Maico  . Built especially to de-throne the BMW twins from the 700 or 750cc plus class in the ISDT; as it was then. I think the bike had a bit of variation in capacity. Not such a hairy ride by all accounts - the dreaded Rick Siemen (Super Hunky of Dirt Bike infamy (RIP)) rode one for a test of sorts. In the Blackwater 100 if I recall correctly.  Google should help. Locally in SA there is some madman intent on setting some speed record (I think) on a vintage 500 Husky 2 smoke.
