Some people might not know this, but CZ two-stroke dirt bikes used to be dominant in the "golden age" of motocross racing in the 1960s to early 1970s.

I highly recommend "On Any Sunday" (1971) as a cool old-school documentary about that era (with a short cameo of Steve McQueen participating in enduro races under an assumed name, as he commonly did). There also are a few scenes of vintage CZs. "On Any Sunday" is very much in the same vein as "The Endless Summer" but for dirt bike racing instead of surfing.

So if you want vintage-style CZ logo stuff (T-shirts, stickers, etc.) you might want to type in  "CZ motocross ______" (fill in blank with what you'r looking for) and you'll get links from vendors.

I used to own a CZ Jawa.

Built like a tank.  Had a neutral between 5th and 4th specifically for “coasting down mountains.”

I remember them well.  Had so much low-end torque you could use the rear wheel of a CZ to dig an irrigation ditch.  I rode a Honda Elsinore 125 back then.

The old logo is vastly superior, it is clean and easily identifiable. Do not care for the new logo at all.
