Is this the Greatest Dirt Bike of All Time?! | 1981 Maico 490 Mega 2

Some people say that the 1981 Maico 490 Mega 2 is the greatest dirt bike of all time, or at the very least they say that this beast was the best open class two stroke motocross machine of it’s day. But is it as good as they say? In this video we are teaming up and going Twin shock racing with Brad O’Leary, Bill Brown and Pete Mathia to find out what it feels like to tame this German Brute and work out once and for all whether this is the best MX bike ever made....
