I'm still having a lingering love affair with 'em.
The 70's, coffin tanks, Ake Johnson...

Never owned one, but I undestand the infatuation.

Got to see Graham Noyce ride at the USGP in '76, when the tanks were still silver. Took home a Maico stroker cap from the event.

Then a desert ride on a 490 Sand Spider set the hook deep - one of the most fun motors of all time.

At least CZ is easy to pronounce.


Yeah .. it's pronounced "Cee Zed" in Canada and England (where they speak the Queen's English).

The first time I heard it pronounced "Cee Zee", the whole "sleazy Cee Zee" thing finally made sense. I thought they were sleazy Cee Zed's all those years.
