1972 IZH Planeta sold for $4,250 at the 2015 Mecum Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction
Exactly the same as my dad's. He traded his one in for a Jawa 350 because it had too many reliability problems. The bar on the saddle is originally covered with grey rubber, a bit like an old washing machine hose. Looked like a DKW, but didn't come near in quality.

ReplyDeleteGreat info on the IZH. The reliability issues don't surprise me. Thanks for your comments.
