The 74-Z speeder bike was a model of speeder bike used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars and later used by the Galactic Empire for combat reconnaissance purposes during the Galactic Civil War. They were commonly piloted by scout troopers or regular stormtroopers. They were able to jam comlinks.
The 74-Z speeder bike was one of the longest produced speeder bike models built by the Aratech Repulsor Company. A militarized variant of Aratech's popular 74-Y speeder bike, the 74-Z was first fielded by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. It was the successor to Aratech's BARC speeder, which was also created for the Grand Army and used in the Clone Wars. Despite that, the 74-Z saw its first test under fire at the First Battle of Geonosis, the first battle of the Clone Wars. Since that battle, the speeder bike served with countless military and paramilitary groups, mercenary crews, and criminal organizations. It was, perhaps, most famous for being the Imperial Army's ride of choice for reconnaissance and scout troopers, who made good use of its speed and maneuverability.
