When Paul Friedrichs won his third consecutive 500CC World Motocross Championship on a CZ 360 Motocross in 1968 it pretty much guaranteed that the 1969 model would be in high demand worldwide.
The big thing about CZ was that you could go to your dealer and buy what Paul Friedrichs and the rest of the big name crew was riding. It wasn’t a replica, it was the real deal.
In a 1969 article Cycle World asked “What’s A Championship Motocross Machine Like?. . . . It’s Plain Looking, Handles Beautifully, And Is Very Fast.”
The 1969 CZ 360 Motocross used a 360 CC air cooled two stroke single cylinder motor that made 32 HP at 6500 RPM. The bike weighed 234 LBS with a very good frame, clutch, transmission, suspension and brakes.
This particular 1969 CZ 360 Motocross (VIN # 96901005 55) is in Vista, California and is listed as “Restored to original condition”. The listing has very little information beyond that. This bike is sitting on the original price of $5,000 with reserve not met
