Motorbike - CZ 125 (Czech Republic made) - year 1964 - would you buy? - survey?

Question

this is not an advert, more a survey - I want to know whether there's any interest out there :)

I own a motorbike - CZ 125cc, 4 speed transmission, year 1964 - a proper veteran amongst East Europe bikes. more info here:

it's a bit rusty here and there, but still works. A very nice piece to have if you're into veteran / vintage bikes.

So, the question - would you buy it & how much are you willing to spend?

Please no £1 offers or similar :).

thanks!

it looks like this one, bit less shiny:

Answer 1

Gotta agree - the entire CZ range was always deeply unpopular in this country, apart from those people in the very, very small CZ Owners Club.

They were slow, unreliable, poorly made and had no charm or charisma whatsoever (the bikes that is - can't say about the owners club...). You may get some-one offering to buy it for spares, but it's honestly worth very, very little. There is no such thing as a 'collectable' CZ, I'm afraid.

Answer 2

hi, a CZ of that 365 days won't deliver any cost, there are 1000's and 1000's of them around,regrettably maximum finally end up being offered for spares They have been inexpensive to purchase ,inexpensive to run,you could sill acquire new ones, the only question i might ask is,, what's (if any) the call stamped on the realm of the engine if the call JAWA is there then somebody might desire to apply it for spares

Answer 3

cz mz they were both crap when new, smoky 2 strokes, noisy and no power... you couldnt give it away, except maybe to the scrap man... and hes likely to charge you for removing it. and sorry, but it isnt worth a quid...
