This pristine example of a 1968 CZ Twinport. It has been completely restored. This is a later metal tank model. The motor has a brand new piston, rod, crankshaft , and transmission. The correct front hub also has the right “smooth”
backing plate (no ridge as found on later CZs). The rear hub is still riveted and both hubs retain their original finish.
Steel 18” and 21” wheels with Barum tires, 2.75 x 21 front and 4.00 x 18 rear. Other original pieces include solid
footpegs, metal front fender, metal number plates, gas petcocks, Jikov carburetor, and correct handlebars. The
airbox and rear fender are fiberglass. This bike with its brand new motor has never been started. This bike is part
of the Brian Grade Collection.

The current owner raced CZ’s back in the day and spent a great deal of time, effort and energy restoring and customizing this bike. The photos speak for themselves.

The following bikes are part of a large collection of CZ’s both production and “works” bikes belonging to Vitezslav Branda.  Vitezslav  is well know in the Czech Republic and production based, the second group are rare works bikes.

We hope to see more of Vitezslav’s collection in the future.
Thanks again Vitezslav!

1981 “Puki” CZ 380.  In an effort to keep pace with the Japanese manufacturers, Puki , a CZ dealer in Italy, began modifying production CZ’s to offer to his customers.  The only CZ parts used were the motors, which were tuned by Puki, the wheel hubs and chains.  Everything else was Italian made…….very rare. 

1970 CZ 380    Type 981.  This bike is a special construction CZ raced by the owner of this collection in the European Championship of Veterans series.

Lionello Bottanelli was kind enough to share his brother Dino Bottanelli collection of CZ’s which he inherited a few years ago.  Dino was an advet collector and was a member of an Italian CZ Club.
