Eight-Speed Mania by Mirko Kalouska

"Small" Tatran 75, 100 and 125 cc competition motorcycles were produced at Považské strojírny in 1969-1982. A total of approximately 100 pieces were created during the entire period. The specials were mainly intended for representation at the six-day ISDT, and the older models went to the Red Star or Svazarm centers. They reached private riders only exceptionally and condescendingly.

Two-stroke engine, electronic sumps, slide valve intake, dry clutch and barrels eight speed gearbox.

All this in a light closed frame, complete with an aluminum tank and intake filter, electronic wheel centers. Total weight approx. 85 kg. Maximum speed according to cubic capacity 100–125 km/h

For example, Milan Kreml, Josef Chovančík, Emil Čunderlík drove them to the ISDT.

At the Revival, you will see 5 machines produced between 1969 and 1979 at Miroslav Kalouska's stand, which were restored by father and son Dušan Kocián.

The motorcycles are fully functional and he regularly participates in veteran events in the saddle with Jarek Bílík from Hodonín, Mirek Kalousko from Brno and Dušan Kocián Jr. from Považská Bystrica.

Dušan Kocián Sr. was the longest actively competing competitive rider in the Tatras, riding for more than 20 seasons. Without his skills and knowledge, which he passed on to his son, this unique collection would never have been created. He died tragically, in a senseless car accident, 6 years ago. He is with us every time Tatanka catches!
