- A quick and brief look at a very unusual machine I spotted at the 2019 Telford Classic Dirt Bike Show. This is Belgian racer Norbert Van Dun's very unique twin cylinder Maico, now whether Norbert actually built the bike I'm unsure but it is certainly a very rare machine.

Just managed to speak to Norbert who designed and built this wonderful little bike and it is a great little story so hopefully I will do an updated version of this video in the future.
A Twin cylinder Maico ! The Holy Grail of Dirt Bikes. Even God himself is drooling over this one.
Back in my day with racing motocross I road CZ but at one of the shops in our area sold Maico and I would dream about owning one , the sun burst head , the tig welded aluminum coffin gas tank , what awesome bikes they were all the top riders road Maico's , thanks.
Almost looked like a Kwaka engine .
Love the welds on the tank, hand built !
I want to hear The sound- feel the vibration ...and smell it !!!❤️💪🏻. Thanks for this nice and informative video! Greetings from rhineland pallatine!
Awesome love vintage bikes
I know girls in black heels with nice legs rarely walk among motocross bikes. See if you can't get a few answers there too Chris and make it a regular!
Good stuff!
The size of the cones on the exhaust are smaller, 125 or less per cylinder mayhap.
Very cool. Would love to find out more details.
A company called Folan built a Husqvarna CR500 based twin using two CR500 barrels/cranks and a standard gear box for sidecar MX use this looks along the same lines.
People often put big engines in motocross bike for Hill climbs and then elongate the Swinging Arm,possibly something to do with that or made out of bits left around a motorcycle garage
Its builder is definitely into his Maicos.
Get your detective cap on Chris, would love to hear the fine details of how this machine came to be built!
pat sellars If it’s at the Telford Show this year I will try and find out more Pat
Don’t understand why the air box when it has foam filters
Also of all the places to mount the rear shock reservoir, why mount it right over the exhaust ?
Davy W. I think has it correct. Snowmobile engine. I guess we will wait and see! Thanks Chris!
The nuts holding on the head are tapped almost looking like they were used for a shroud on a fan cooled snowmobile.
If I remember correctly these bikes fired simultaneously , both pistons rising and falling together , I think Maico made them in very small numbers.
Yeah those CNC side cases tell part of the story in dealing with the snowmobile clutch/torque converter
Must be why it has a gear lever.
Es una verdadera joya
Maybe a bannchi motor ? It would be fast !
First mud puddle it hit's will foul out the air filters and if water hits them then your talking instant seizure, not a good design rear fender/mud guard for the air intake system. Dust and or sand would do the same to this as far as seizing it eventually but water will do it instantly especially if hot.
It's only rode on Sundays and never in the rain.
Looks like 250.cc. Probably faster top end speed. Than the single.
Why???
snowmobile engine ..
