1957 Other Makes on 2040-motos

This is a very rare Maico Scrambler and not the Blizzard variety.  It was imported by a Maico dealer in Iowa who added the light kit to help sell the bike.  In 1957, Maico race bikes were/are a rare bird in the U.S.

The very first 250cc World Championship, "The European Cup" was won on this type of Maico in 1957 by Fritz Betzelbacher.  Willi Oesterle, also of Germany took 2nd on a similar bike.  I did remove the engine from the bike with plans of a restoration, but the engine is still complete in a crate.  I also have a Maico Blizzard I would sell for an additional $800 and it has the top triple tree mount for a front number plate, which is needed for a proper restoration for this racer.  I do not have a title, but I can provide a Bill of Sale.

Please check out my other bike auctions, and don't hesitate to contact me with questions.  Thanks for taking a look!
