1971 CZ 400 MX modified - This is a Matching Numbered bike with all numbers & data plates intact. Bike has been modified from stock with the following items: 35-36mm Marzocchi forks & triple clamps / Mikuni carb conversion with ACK intake manifold / very nice, very trick works style coned up pipe w/heat shield and Husky pickle silencer (I've seen a lot of CZ up pipes and this one is awesome--tucks in very tight and fits perfectly) / magnesium CZ rear & front wheels w/Hi-Point front rim & Akront rear rim / KYB rear shocks / Hex grips / lightweight plastic airbox w/K&N filter / plastic tank / tall GP seat / Magura dog-leg controls / chromeoloy steel CZ bend bars / Preston Petty Tony D front fender and stock metal rear fender / frame nicely modified with gusseted swing arm and forward shock locations, as well as frame strengthening and forward shock relocating. Tires are Cheng-Shin copies of Barum front & Trelleborg rear --- both in very good shape. Sprocket is aluminum, and an aftermarket chain tensioner has been added. Pegs and all foot controls are stock CZ units and are excellent. Back in the day when we were riding and racing these incredible machines, it was common practice to modify one's bike in order to keep up with the constant technology improvements with motocrossers in the mid 70's. The mods on this bike are a close representation of what CZ works bikes evolved into during the mid 70's. This bike appears to have had all custom work performed professionally and with a lot of care to do things right. As it sits this bike probably weighs in at least 25 lbs lighter than a stock '71 CZ 380, is much faster and handles way better. Bike appears ready to go, but I would not be surprised if carb cleaning, ignition cleaning & service, air filter & engine oil replacement, etc. and other items will be required before riding or racing this 45 year old vintage racing machine. This is a fast and very good handling motocross bike. This bike is UNRESTORED and in ORIGINAL as-raced condition. Please be real when buying---this bike is USED---NOT NEW. No warrantees or guarantees given of any kind. Of all the vintage dirt bikes, it is the Czechoslovakian Jawa's and CZ's that appear to be holding their values best and still appreciating. These were the bikes that changed motocross forever, putting 2-stroke horse power and ultra light weight into the fray that rendered all the heavy British 4-stroke bikes obsolete almost over night. Almost every famous motocross rider from the 1960's raced for the CZ team at one time or another--Robert, DeCoster, Friedrichs, Desoto, Lackey, Staten, Falta, Banks, and MANY DOZENS more made their mark and started their professional racing careers aboard CZ's. The Don Mathews CZ World Championship / Nationals held in North-Central CA are right around the corner (end of April). Due to period mods this bike would probably fit into the post vintage race class (1975-1977). This event is getting larger each year with riders flying in from all over the world to attend. Many of the Czech works riders and American Pros from the past regularly race, and it is turning into a real once a year event. I can help deliver to anywhere in USA for an additional fee. Email me for more info. $250 deposit due within 24 hours. It is NON-REFUNDABLE. Balance due by cash in person upon pickup, personal check, cashier's check, or bank wire transfer --- all within 5 days of auction end. NO TITLE--sold on bill of sale only. Once again, if you cannot agree to these terms then please do not bid. I will be selling my 15 remaining CZ's in the next year, so watch here for some incredible race bikes becoming available for sale soon. If you're into VMX bikes and parts, you might want to mark me down as one of your watched ebay sellers. Thanks for looking and have a great day.
