Bought this one by accident.

Had they been sold outside Germany?

All the Maicos I've ever seen in the US were motocross bikes, and at some point they changed the name to M-Star?

 What year is that bike ? 2 stroke or 4 ?  Looks to be in great shape.

Its a 1983 bike, 2 stroke.

Been built between 1978 - 1983, so one of the latest from about 400 made
