The best Soviet motorcycles are, of course, Jawa. And it doesn’t matter that they were not collected in the Soviet Union, but were brought from Czechoslovakia. In fact, Java was precisely a Soviet motorcycle, because the foreign plant sent more than 90% of its products to the USSR. In addition to Jawa, another interesting bike was made in Czechoslovakia - Chezet, as it was called in the Soviet Union, or CZ 350, if correct. This is the motorcycle we will tell you about today.
I would like to immediately note that such a variety of models as among Jawa was not supplied to the USSR. In fact, “Big Brother” received only one model of the 472 series in various modifications. Deliveries began in 1976 and ended in 1989.
The motorcycle in the USSR came with a displacement of 350 cubic centimeters, the engine was almost “Java”, structurally, at least.
History of the CZ brand
The history of the appearance of CZ motorcycles is somewhat similar to the same events in the USSR after the Great Patriotic War.
This is the last modification of Cheset, which was supplied to the USSR.
