3. 1969 CZ 360 Sidepiper
Pretty much any CZ motocrosser from 1964-1974 is a great buy, and the Czech brand remains a staple in vintage motocross to this day. Price, parts availability (they’re almost all interchangeable) and the fact that CZs are as reliable as your average sledge hammer make them popular choices for racing among the old-bike crowd. But CZs are also collectible with the early twin-pipe models already commanding over five figures and sidepipe models not too far behind that. That’s what intrigues us about this 1969 sidepiper. We could buy it and park it or buy it and race it, then restore it, then park it. Either way, we’d have a bike that was worth owning and that was built by one of the true ironman (iron curtain?) companies in motocross racing history.
