Hi All
An new Jawa is on the way, or.., should that be a slightly remodeled XY-400 TT40, also known as the Mash TT40.
Does look quite nice though ..

I like that, I thought the TT40 looks a bit peculiar without lower fairings. The fact that they've only sold 11 implies that I'm not alone.
It does beg the question of whether there's going to be any room on the market for a Jawa badged version of the Shineray though. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I like it aesthetically.
I don't like it pretends to be a Jawa.
I don't like the crap engine it has in it. Should be a screaming banshee 2 stroke but as the world would die of 2 stroke fumes according to our lords and masters, at least a 4 stroke with a bit of grunt.
In the end, another rebranding of a seen before standard Chinese offering.

Counterpoint: I reckon it's about the right amount of power for that bike for using it on a UK road. Wishing isn't going to make 6 cylinder 250s come back.
What might also work is something like the 14,000 redline 250 twin in my Ninja, or the 300 version that succeeded it. Possibley not any faster than a 400 single on public roads, but you get to use all the revs and all the gears.
It is what it is though, a very pretty bike that's doubtless great fun to bimble around on while making "Vroom vrooom" sounds inside your Bell Bullitt. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I like that .
Once I’ve put my old 70’s bash hat on and found some quiet roads, that looks like fun. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

They can make perfectly decent stuff when they want to. The issue is what happens if you do get a lemon. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Well, my Mash 400 (basically the same bike) is almost 3 years old now, has been ridden through 3 winters, and, so far, still no issues, signs of corrosion are negligible, nothing, aside from the rear rack for which I was the reason that it broke, that isn't a consumable has been replaced or needed to be replaced.
I will post a proper update on the Mash thread, when I see if I hit any problems come first MOT time.. ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

I'm surprised that it's not being offered as a dealer-special.
On that, sales of the GT are dropping. 96 in 2013, then 182, 211, 162, and back down to 97 in 2017. We're actually lucky that we get niche bikes like this at all - I'd hesitate to take a punt on them as a dealer or importer. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
