In 1981, \u003cem\u003eMaico\u003c\/em\u003e introduced what may be the finest production motocross bike, for its time, ever built, establishing the basic measurements for modern dirt bikes. North American competitors embraced the \u003cem\u003eMaico\u003c\/em\u003e, paying high prices for an often-infuriating thoroughbred which carried them into a new, exciting sport with physical and financial risks.
