Ceska Zbrojovka (CZ) first produced motorcycles in 1932. During the 1960s and 70s they achieved virtual dominance in off-road competition with a string of successes in the World Motocross Championships, and also the ISDTs. In 1974 Jaroslav Falta was a works' CZ rider whose brave attempt to clinch the World 250 Championship in the last race of the season was cruelly denied to him by what some saw as the cynical tactics of the Russian rider Guennady Moisseev and other Russian riders. In recognition of his efforts the CZ factory produced the Falta Replica the following year. The machine offered appears to be a recreation of a Falta Replica, in recently restored condition, and will require re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown. There are no documents present, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
