AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A special ESO 500cc single-cylinder 4-stroke racer from the 1960s in splendidly beautiful condition.
Has ridden in several international races; see stickers on the headstock.
ESO was a Czech motorcycle factory that, from 1949 to 1964, produced exclusively racing motorcycles. ESO was founded by motorcycle racer Jaroslav Simandl and made 250, 350, and 500 cc motorcycles, mainly for speedway, motocross, and ice racing.
The engines were involved in the early years of J.A.P., and after 1950 an engine of ESO's own design was used.
The factory that built ESO motorcycles is still in operation in Divisov, Czech Republic. This factory has been building speedway and ice racing motorcycles under the name Jawa since 1964.
We bought this ESO in good running condition in the late 1990s in Italy, directly from the circuit.
The engine is in very good condition and has been part of our collection. It ran well a few years ago as well (of course, only on E100 super gasoline). The fuel tank is very good and clean on the inside.
A few particulars:
Dry sump system.
Very special original brakes.
Large cylinder head
tachometer
etc.
Includes many extra parts, such as clutch plates and gears. See photos.
It could possibly be made to run again for the buyer.
Transport across all of Europe possible by arrangement.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
