12 Bikes We’d Bid On at the Mecum Motorcycle Auction

The Mecum Antique and Classic Motorcycle Auction returns to Las Vegas, January 25-28. Here’s a dirty dozen for which we’d definitely raise our paddle.

2. 1974 CZ 400
1974-CZ-Falta-Replica-400-Bonhams-K-12-22-2016
This 1974 CZ 400 represents both the performance and history of the brand in one fell swoop. Unlike the Japanese, the European brands pretty much passed on their works technology straight into the production models as quickly as possible, so this is basically a production version of whatever the CZ factory riders were riding the previous year. The Falta Replica 250 (note: this model is being listed as a Falta, but we have it on good authority that it is a red frame 1974 CZ 400–big difference) is even more desirable. If we were looking for a clean CZ 400 to start vintage racing aboard, we’d have no qualms about bidding on this is one.
Our Max Bid: $4500
