Introduction
CZ was founded 1919 in Strakonice. Although it originally started out manufacturing weapons, in 1932 CZ produced its first Motorcycle. During the 1950s, CZ joined forces with the "Jawa". During the 1960s and 1970s, CZ mainly manufactured bikes based on two Models: The 125/175 single-cylinder, and the 250 twin-cylinder. CZ launched the 350 "Typ-860" GP in 1969. CZ signed for Cagiva to produce the new CZ and Jawa motorcycles in 1991. By 1997, the agreement with Cagiva failed.
Patterned after the 74 works bike that Russian, Jaroslav Falta rode during the 1974 season. This, limited production, CZ 250 featured an improved engine and frame geometry, air shocks and an aluminum gas tank held on by a strap. This was as close to the CZ works bikes it got.
