Here's a odd one for you.

My business partner picked this up this weekend. I thought some of y'all would get a kick out of it.

I'll let you figure out what it is.

It's a ladder!

Zundapp?

Its a 60-70's CZ of some sort

Here's a hint.

The kick start is also the shifter.

Start:

It's a Jawa 175!

When I was a little kid my next-door neighbor had one with knobbies on it. It's the first bike I ever got a ride on. I was probably 4 or 5 and he tossed me up on the tank and rode around the block.

Displacement is going to be tricky, but it is confirmed as a CZ-Jawa from the 70's Eastern block Honda.

I'm going to say model 477 @ 175cc circa 1975 or thereabouts. Mainly based on color scheme and size of the head.

125-250cc is the only surefire thing here.....they all look alike.

There is its twin.....

In reply to yamaha:

How dare you challenge me on something I recall from when I was five then googled for 30 seconds to round out my expertise!?

My neighbor had the "trail" version according to google images. Very similar but slightly different.

In reply to Giant Purple Snorklewacker:

That's for the dolphin love joke that would still be leading the leaderboard if we still had it....

Just messing with you, these damn things are legos.

1976 Jawa CZ125

The only things missing are the chain guard and oil pump cover.

It's a pretty neat old bike.

I had a 250 CZ motocross bike. It still ranks as one of my all time favorites . . . even though I unintentionally almost killed us both by riding over my head too many times. It and I survived the crash and I almost cried the day I sold it. After all I put that thing through it was still very strong and the transmission was still tight. The only time I used the clutch was when I started. I've always wanted a street legal version of the 250.
