Believe it or not, the Czech manufacturer Jawa is still in business, and is still offering a touch of true retro two-wheeled technology for nostalgic riders. That's right, we're talking about the old Jawa 350, a bike which is as close as it gets to the old-school machinery.
Jawa 350 is available in three trims: Classic, Sport and Military Limited Edition. While all three machines are powered by the old 2-stroke 345cc, 23 HP (at 5,250 rpm) parallel twin producing 32 Nm (under 24 ft-lbs) at 4,750 rpm, the classic version is the least changed model.
Enthusiasts will surely appreciate the old oval tank with both rubber side panels and chrome accents, fork gaiters and pretty much all the accents the bike had 20 years ago or more.
The other two bikes are powered by the same engine, mated to the same 4-speed gearbox, with electric starting and kick backup, but their tanks and sidepanels have been redesigned. Just like the classic, the front brake rotor was upgraded to a drilled 265mm one.
The Limited Edition comes in military green, with knobbies, while the Sport edition brings in a frontal fairing for better protection and a taller-geared transmission. Accessory racks and sidecases can transform it into a touring machine. Before you smile, we'll add the 400 km (248 miles) range for the 17-liter (4.5 us gal) tank. No longer smiling, are you? Sidecars are also available.
The UK prices start at £3395.00 ($5,458 or €4,035). Via In Sella.
