Maico came into being in 1926 when formed as Ulrich Maisch and Company, although they did not manufacture motorcycles until the 1930s. With a continuous connection with the Maisch family, they manufactured powered two wheelers throughout the 20th century, except during the war when they switched to war production. After some success in the Motocross World Championships during the late 1950s, Maico endured a fallow period in motocross success until returning to winning ways in the 1970s. As always, this success fed into over-the-counter sales, and in 1976 were producing 250, 400, and 440-engined off-roaders. This example of the MC400 is believed to be an older restoration. Forming part of this collection for some years, 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.
