Oddly, so do I. The old Jawa styling was very, very neat. Look for a pic
of a 353 or 559.

Shame about the engineering, and a Chinese copy of it sounds dire.

 

Isn't there a big thing about the Chinese stealing IP? I thought stuff like
this was being more controlled. i.e. This bike shouldn't have been allowed in
the UK.

 

I like the rude word on the tank.

Yeah, far better to have a new Jawa.

They made them under licence from Jawa. Where did the IP get stolen?

 

Yes, but the licence was withdrawn when CZ recognised Tibet.

 

Chuck a sidecar on it and it'll be fine.

 

Scene: somewhere in Prague, as a member of the Czech Government peers at
Google Earth....

"I say, I know that place there! It... it's Tibet!"

 

I thought they stopped making them when the licence was withdrawn, so
this would be before that time and legit. That said I cba to do the
research as I don't actually care. I just know I don't want it.
