At the heart of the 1994 CZ CZ motorcycle, CZ relies on a 180 cc (11 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13 HP (9.5 kW) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 72.2 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the CZ measures 128 kg (282 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.85 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
