Jawa is offering a 350 twin, not Chinese though or at least does not seem to be.

Not cheap though...

3,500.00 GBP

the 350 twin is a Jawa Czech design from donkey years now, the 250 twin is based on a honda twin.

Yes i know the 2stroke where very popular in Poland. But i have a suspicion that the 250ccm is a lifan engine...

It is CM 250 clone, that's obvious, but is this "Lifan"'s - only mark may say. It should read something like LF 253 FMM. But "Lifan" or not, those "Jawas" were not affordable as its predecessors. '80's "Jawas" and "MZs" - todays C-motos.

Zorge you think that Jawa produce a copy of CM 250...?
I think they buy it in China, no matter if lifan or other manufacturer.

CM 250 clone refers to engine and not on the entire motorcycle. No, I do not believe that this engine is made in "Jawa" factory, but also I do not think that this twin engine is "Lifan"'s exclusive product. You can find at least half a dozen Chinese factories which produce such engine.

Who said that he pass?

I do not believe that adding oil mixer, contactless ignition, perhaps better carburetor, done enough for "Jawa" to slip through EU emission regulations, but, damn, this thing lap up at least 4l/100km. Too much by today's standards.

BTW, four or five years ago, I read in one of the Russian motorcycle magazines, that there this two stroke costs about 2700 euros. Can you imagine a C-moto that costs so much and how much better than this "Jawa"?

Zorge you can even buy a Jawa 350 in England in fact the whole range of Jawa's yet to see one but I do recall seeing a review not too long ago. to be precise the review was 5 years ago ahahahaha

I do miss seeing Soviet smokers around still saw plenty of CZ's, Izh's and Jawa's in Ukraine and plenty of Jap import race replica 250's.

Beniamin, since you are native Polish speaker, I want to ask you something. I'm trying to find out for some time about "Junak", in fact, about the meaning of the word in Polish. On Serbian, "junak" is arachaism that means same as "bohater" in Polish. On the other hand, "Google translate" word "junak" translate as "swashbuckler". So, is "junak" something closer to a Jack Sparrow or Tadeusz Kosciuszko?
