CZ 125

[TM BILL]

Picked this up last weekend, it appears very original still on Barum tyres.
I know there heavy and uncompetitive but i like it cos its different 

[firko]

That's as good as it gets for originality Bill. I think I know where you can get rebuild kits for the airshocks if you want to use'em. That's if I haven't erased the info.

[shortshifter]

Thats a great find Bill,very original as Firko says.As far as competative goes 90% rider 10% bike (or something like that).Alternatively I think it is the guy who runs czechpoint website says he had a 125 and put in a 400 engine.Looks like it might just be a bolt in operation.Increase your power to weight ratio a bit!

[firko]

It's a bolt up alright. 125/250/400 are all interchangable.

[vandy010]

i'd pay money for that!
very cool indeed. 

[090]

I love it! Velcome comrade!

[holeshot buddy]

i had one of those thirty years ago
got it cheap had blown motor
fitted rt360 yamaha engine in
adapted down pipe (easy)
ran cz rear sprocket (huge)
it was the best trail bike in our group
would climb any hill 
only drawback went from first to fifth
very quick (see sprocket)
ended up trading in on a rm250b at clipstones yamaha ringwood
fug knows what happened to it
i remember the motor went in very easy (weekend job)
and shit it was loud
i will have a look might have a photo somewhere

Ah! I remember it like yesterday... a scrawny kid with his face pressed up to the rear window of the Kombi van watching the CZ125 Falta disappear into a little spec in the distance.
It was a trip to Auckland in about 1977 & we went to the CZ/Jawa place Seacliffe motors for a new round of pistons for our old shitter 175's... there was a row of Falta lined up 400,250 & 125, how I wanted dad to get us that 125.

Don't ever put some big arsed motor in that 125 bike... I know where you live.

Sweet, nice find.

Hey Jim, there are no factory built radial head 125cc, if you see one it's got an aftermarket head.

[jimg1au]

thanks all you read on the internet is not true.
cheers
jim
1973 cz250
1972 cz400
both not running yet

[firko]

I'm no expert either but I have owned one of these little sweetie 125s and don't ever recall a radial head on one. Are you sure you're not thinking of the 250 and 400 Jim? Here's a shot of a '77 model 125 and they still hadn't recieved the radial head that the biggy models had.

[jimg1au]

i just read to much stuff and mybe got mixed up.anyway its a hice git of kit might get me 1 1day soi can have 1 of each 125 250 400
cheers

There was a pic of the rare 75 Falta 125 in VMX a few issues ago. Did it have a radial head?

[Ian P]

No33 page 59.
Yep has a radial head but it is listed as being aftermarket.
I think Bill's is more original.

[JC]

Rear bottom shock mount aint quite right for 75 Falta model is it? Should be further forward I tho't.
