Rare bike

Saw an example of a very rare bike on Ebay:
1974 Maico MD250


I have never seen one of these and the only mention I'd ever heard of it was in an American magazine back in the 70s.
Maico were a German company that mostly made off road bikes, but also made a few road bikes as well. You can see the off road influence on the engine, which was a 250cc two stroke single with rotary valve induction.
Ebay listing end this coming Saturday (8th Novenber), so bid early if you're interested!

Some technical details here.
