all kind of cz-bikes...  :evil:

i had a 89 cz125. and i seen all kind of damages on all the other cz´s: broken con rods, broken pistons broken frames, broken shocks...
once i decided to race in vintage class, i said to my own : never a cz again..!  :-D

Yep.  That's what bultaco's and husqvarnas are for!

and I'll never forget the bad cz brakes
sometimes they worked well and sometimes from one moment to the other, there was nothing to slow down. and then once it went straight through the hedge with me and I broke my left leg. I never rode the cz again and switched to a 89 KX125.
that was a difference as between a tractor and a mercedes car.    :-D :-D
big 2 stroke bikes are weapons for real men, who don´t fear death or devil. ;O)
´83 kx250, ´87 kx250 (with 360 big bore), 87 kx500, ´93 kx500 sfc

first let me say that no bike could ever be the worst, because when it was running I had some of the greatest times. The bike that was the most trouble was a I think 1974 Hodaka 125 Combat Wombat. The gear selector was a ball receiver mechanism and if not adjusted right it would always be in nuetral, and pistons were eaten like candy, good thing they were only $10

I cant believe i'm gonna say this ( the embarassment) my first bike as a kid was the worst, it was one of those rigid framed things with wheel barrow wheels a lawn mower motor with a centrifugal clutch and a bent peice of metal over the spark plug for a kill switch , dont get me wrong it only needed the clutch to be changed once ina blue moon. but i had to ride this thing for years before the old man bought me another bike ( yz125D) every other 12 year old was riding rm80's, i was the only one who had to provide my own gear shift sound effects. oh and i had to wear a pudding bowl helmet as well.

125 Parilla Scrambler. Ex Flat Tracker. Very rare blue and silver color. It must have had an early GPS built in because any time I got more then a mile from the house (on trails) it would die and not start until I had pushed it all the way back and into the yard. Put a lot of miles on it though. It was my first real motorcycle (12?) and purchased with my own money.
