I spoke with their sales manager a couple of years ago and was told not to buy the 700, that the 620 was the one to buy!

I don't see how they stay in business.  Very high priced and not much dealer support.  Any aftermarket parts ?  A new KX450F is under 7 thousand.  The ATK's start at 10 thousand.  With all the places I ride I have never seen one.  Now that I think about it I've only seen 1 K5 other than mine.  That's one of those money to burn bikes.  I would park it next to my H2 BMW that sits next to my 4 KX 500's.  You know 1 for sand,  1 for MX, 1 for supermoto and 1 for hill climbs.  Did I leave anything out ??  Money can't by love but it can buy fun.

remember the ATK's from back in the 70's when my dad used to race a Maico. saw one on craigslist, a 96, and there was a link to the site. didn't know they still made em. so why was the 620 better than the 700?

i heard that our k5s are just as fast at the 620 or the 700. i have yet to see one myself though

just good to know:

1.AMERICA still builds a dirt bike.
2. there is still a BIG 2-stroke being made.

as the Jap. bikes start to phase out 2-smokers, we may start to see more of em.

MadKaw, the bikes from ATK are actually imported German Maico's.
The Maico's are made by K?stler and they only make 2 strokes, from 250, 320, 500, 620 to 685cc.
But they're a little too expensive i guess, because i have never seen a new Maico on the street or on the track.

I think this says it all 

Anyway, this is their site if you want to have a look:

http://www.koestler-bikeworld.de/english.html

Go to 'Products', then 'to our e-shop', then under 'categories': 'motorcycles new/used' and then 'Maico new vehicles'
