Jawa - they're back!

in these straightened times these actually might make some sort of sense for trundling about on. not sure about that exhaust though (emissions regs?).

nor the 'high tech' instrumentation either...

Happy days I'd still rather have an old 638, but nice to see Jawa rising phoenix-like.

If only MZ would do the same

I really like that, shame it costs as much as £3k. I reckon a more competitive pricing could see that match the Chinese for price and beat them on quality.

There had to be a down side. Not sure how they can justify such a hefty price tag for such a basic bike. Even two grand would have been pushing it.

It's interesting that the Jawa 250 Travel which is a 4 stroke, has automatic pumped 2 stroke lubrication

As others have said though the prices are crazy.

£3,000 for something that is barely quicker than a Honda CBF125 which only costs £2,000.

Nice to see they're back, but £3k is way too steep especially given that second hand ones are so cheap.

I'd be interested to know how (or if) they got them through the emissions regs. I suspect they may just be SVAing the individual bikes, given that they're probably not going to sell that many.

Not too keen on the 'updated' styling either

Just before they went under the last time. Jawa made a liquid cooled, 250cc 2t single with reed valve indiction called the "Supermaster". They were making just under 30bhp and weighing considerably less than the 350.

Now I really likes this bike. The also did a motard type version called the "tempo".

I've only ever seen one of them and it looked like a handy piece of kit.

Jawa were always better at making 4-strokes than 2-strokes. In fact, their 500 singles are still one of the most powerful engines of their type. Look at any speedway race.

I don't know, looks a little to me like the same kind of thing as a Chinese company purchasing the AJS name and using it to double the price of their shite.

I like that, surely the cost isnt much off what a Royal Enfield would set you back? Similar sort of thing.


Just been to F2 motorcycles website to check and it says they have binned Royal Enfield. Bit of a shame, as they seem like a decent dealer, anyone who pays more attention have any idea why?

That's a CZ, not a Jawa.

EDIT:
Anyway. I'll see your crosser and raise you the 165mph, 1971 Jawa model 673. A 500cc V4 2-stroke.

the speedway engines are fairly decent, and have a substantial amount of poke
