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.

Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
