Bought a Jawa 250cc, used ($200), in 1964 & was my first bike at 18yrs old....Commuted between San Diego-Torrance, CA while in Navy Radioman A school (riding a bus sucked)....All my buddies laughed at me 'cuz it sounded like a popcorn popper, BUT, they all wanted to drive it around the pea patch....Funnnn scooter!!....Back in the olden days, never wore a helmet, etc....Always rode around in t-shirt, levis, tennies, no gloves and wore shades (not good--watery eyes)....After my Navy gig, rode a couple 350cc Hondas, until my bride ordered me to stop riding motorcycles (circa 1977---2 kids in diapers--didn't want me killed)...."Yes dear" (dang, I truly loved that woman)....18 yrs later, after 20 yrs together, she divorced me (not my idea) shortly after our son died (Cystic Fibrosis)....For my 50th birthday ( at that time, to maintain my sanity and start to assuage my grief, I bought my first Harley---am on my 5th right now---have driven all over the western U.S. on Harleys)....Have recently begun to research Jawas for nastalgia and fun.....Altho I still have a Harley, it would be fun, at some point in the near future (am 74, so it's gotta be "near future"), would love to buy a restored (or original) 60s Jawa to ride around my local SW FL "pea patch"....As much as I love Harleys, I truly miss that Jawa 250cc "popcorn popper" music...arrrr
@@sailnekkid A compelling tale good Sir. Same here with the divorce I didn't want. Good luck with your continuing motorcycle journey through life. Kind regards.
My first ride on a motorcycle was on a 175cc JAWA over 60 years ago so I have a warm spot in my heart for the brand. This one seems like a very nice bike.
I love the look and when I ride a new type of Classic, I don't look or expect performance. Your review was very truthful and well in understanding of a true rider. Thankyou.
Sir you read my mind Over the spoke Tubeless tyres BS 6 Adjustable levers All led headlights, taillights , indicators Better instrumentation cluster would be excellent ♥️🔥 Thank you for no nonsense review 😇
This is what a bike review should be like. Good english, and choice of words. Great motorcycling terms. One is properly informed after this review. 200,000 Indian Rupees is US$ 2,817. Thanks and Regards. Trinidad & Tobago.
A lot of talk was made about this bike not being on par when you cross 100 on a speedometer. But as this review rightly puts it, the bike functions perfectly and satisfactorily well at all speeds. Having said that, it's also true that some bikes are made for a laid-back feel. The beauty of this bike is it's capable of doing both - rapidness and laidbackness!
I clicked on this video yesterday by accident. It turned out to be one of the best reviews I have ever seen. This Jawa classic isn't even sold here in Germany. I subscribed because you are just that informative.. Thanks.
I am super thrilled to have ridden this bike. It is an absolute pleasure to ride it. As I sit on the bike the POV takes me back in time and I get a hit of nostalgia. Turning on the engine delights me with a hearty sound and the acceleration that zips me ahead. I just can't find enough words to describe the feeling. You have to ride it to feel it.
I have a restored 1973 250 Californian--a beautiful bike that starts by the second kick every time. Parts are readily available on the internet. The new 300 looks amazing, I will buy one when they become available in the US.
Had owned Jawa California. 350 cc with Velorix sidecar and rode it 7000 miles through Snow etc .. This one is nice hopefully in few yrs it will b 500 cc and update for foreign markets .
I love the classic JAWA and I really like this new iteration! If they come to Europe and at a reasonable price I think they will do well as Royal Enfield does not offer the 350 here and a lot of people, especially in Eastern Europe recognise the looks and the brand. Please JAWA consider this..
The only review to focus on the rider triangle for people of different heights. It's probably the most important aspect but no one talks about it. Thanks 🙏
I have had the pleasure of a quick ride on one of my friends Jawa and it looks good in the flesh and is easy to ride. I am impressed. My friend rode his from Slovakia to the Isle of Man going through Germany, Belgium ,France and Uk and he had no problem doing it over a few days covering about 400 km each day.
Positives supersedes negatives by miles. Engine is better, riding dynamics are better so what do u want more. seat can easily be replaced no other negative to be considered as negative
Sir your reviews(presentation)are really good fantastic 👌please donot change the way you present (I mean in the future). But need to say this channel is so underrated.
Regarding the last part: if we are to compare it with RE, I feel it still has good torque and that is the USP for this bike! And also the vibration less ride is always comfortable!! I also felt it gets mighty heated up even just after half an hour's ride and also with pillion and centre stand fixed... The bike certainly brushes on to the speed bumps.. or while taking sharp turns... very low ground clearance
Beautiful bike Beautiful video.. so refreshing.. i have seen this video before.. still sooo good 👍🏼. Convinced me to get one.. Booking Jawa next month. ❤
Excellent review Vikrant ... should add that the Jawa 300CL, with its lower gear ratio and lighter weight, is much more nimble and easier to handle in heavier traffic driving situations. Thanks again.
Hi Vikrant ! I’ve bought Marron and waiting to receive may be in next week I’ll have that machine in my hands. Can you also please suggest me a good and sturdy helmet brand and model for regular riding...
Kribha Damo HJC has some really nice ones. Model, I feel, you should decide based on what design you prefer. But, between open face and full face, I’d say full face.
Sincere review 😊😊. Jawa should modify the seat , visibly pathetic it is, for the money you pay the seat should be more thicker & cushioned with better quality material.
Beautiful presentation.... Clean n clear talk. No nonsense talking. Keep it like this only.... Will see ur next few videos n will think about subscribe..
This is an interesting bike. I like the look very much, even though I am too big for a bike of this size. I really enjoyed this review, however. Nice camera work, very informative, and extremely well presented. Great job!
Nice review. Love the look. And no one else has a Jawa that I know of. I think I'd customise the seat with extra padding giving it the height proportion of the old 2-stroke 350 Oilmaster twin. It's a real beauty.
For me if the price is right its perfect as it is, simple and it looks just right. If its true about the seat, than its the only drawback but at the same time its the price you pay for a low seat but can also be sorted with better foam. I really wish they sell them in europe, there’s really a need in good competition for these kind of bikes.

They've _nailed_ the vintage look! I really look forward to seeing this brand develop over the upcoming years. Will they smooth over the rough edges, to make a more comfortable and convenient bike? Will they sell enough locally so it makes sense to expand oversees, like R.E. has? (In North America we would need at least a bit more power, a comfortable seat, and the frame geometry for us taller, big-@∫∫ed folk!)
Having experienced the purchase of an Indian pattern petrol tank I would never consider buying one of their motorbikes. An original restored Jawa would make more sense to me. They were fine bikes apparently.

I purchased JAWA 42 from Bangalore it is now more than 3 month still they are not able to provide registration of my bike. Such a bad Experience as a customer.

That must have been a CZ, not Jawa. They may have been the same factory but Jawa only produced 250 single and 350 twins.

Unfortunately Classic models are not yet sold in Europe... :(
their delivery time in the local country is 6 months , imagine taking orders in EU, they will take ages to deliver there.

Very well presented and comprehensive review. Definitely one of the better UA-cam bike Regis channels.
Lovely, great looker, adequate performance for the category, perhaps needs a few refinements but welcome back Jawa !
I owned it in the 90s but sold it in 2008 due to lack of spares. Still have fond memories especially exhaust sound..
