1957 Maico Tyfun

Maico is well known of its successful line of two-stroke motorcross and enduro machines. The German firm first began production in 1933 building trials and road racing bikes, including the 125cc machines on which Borge Jansson won several Grand Prix events in the early 1970s Roadsters such as the twin cylinder 350 and 500cc Tyfun models were popular during the 1950s. In later years Maico concentrated more on dirt efforts, before going under in 1987.
