Jawa 350
Encyclopedia
The Jawa 350 is a classic motorcycle
, formerly produced by Jawa Motors
in Czechoslovakia
until 1992 and in the Czech Republic
from 1993 until the end of production. With its two-stroke, air-cooled 343 cc engine it could reach speeds of 132 kilometres per hour (82 mph).
The Jawa 350 is no longer produced or sold, but it remains popular thanks to its dominance of the Communist Bloc countries of Eastern Europe
from the 1960s to the 1990s. Competitors of that time included the German MZ
(125 & 250 cc) and Simson (250 cc Sport & Avo), the Romanian Mobra (50 cc) and the Russian IJ
(350 cc). This was a period before the penetration of Eastern Europe by Japanese motorcycle manufacturers.
