MEGAFORM the radically new M-1 frame, has produced a totally new motorcycle.
Maico engineers created a bike in which the rider is made a part of the total
design. Here is a shape the rider actually sits in -not perched on top of. The engine
is mounted lower. bringing down the center of gravity.
The MEGAFORM frame barely changes seat height while increasing travel
to 12.2 inches up front and a full 12 in the rear. And the MEGAFORM makes
Maico's legendary handling even better. The front end reads the terrain
beautifully. Longer thick-gauge fork tubes (42mm.) overlap the slider 9-3/4
inches compressed. and 7-3/4 inches with the forks fully extended. The MEGAFORM is tougher with no flex or wobble and no racing bike puts the rider in
better touch with the racing surface.
The M-1100ks as new as it is ... a new 40 mm. carb. a bigger air box and new
cylinder transfer ports-all for more usable horsepower ... new quick-mount seat.
tank and air filter ... new pipe ... new louvered front fender and side panels for
better engine cooling ... new Magura straight pull levers ... and a lot more.
Irs no surprise that Maico delivers the sport's newest 250 for 1980. Year after year,
Maico does whatever has to be done to stay ahead of competition. That costs
more than milking old designs. But for all the manufacturers who ride with yesterdaYs ideas. ifs a cheap victory-at your expense.
