Review
The 1974 CZ 400 MX Type 981 is a classic motocross machine, powered by a 400cc two-stroke engine producing 42 HP at 6800 RPM. This engine delivers a raw and responsive powerband, typical of vintage MX bikes. The 4-speed gearbox provides adequate gear ratios for tackling challenging off-road terrain, allowing it to reach a top speed of 80.5 km/h (50.0 mph). With a seat height of 836 mm (32.9 inches), the CZ 400 MX is designed for experienced riders comfortable with a taller stance. The fuel tank holds 8.0 liters (2.11 US gallons), sufficient for shorter motocross sessions. Weighing in at 106 kg (233.7 pounds), it's relatively lightweight, enhancing its agility on the track. The CZ 400 MX is intended for vintage motocross enthusiasts who appreciate the challenge and thrill of riding a classic two-stroke machine. Its oil-filled front suspension and expanding drum brake offer a nostalgic riding experience, demanding skill and finesse from the rider.
