Czech motorcycle maker Jawa has unveiled its
retro-modern racer, the 2018 Jawa 350 Special in Europe.
In celebration of Jawa’s racing history dating way
back in the 1960’s, the brand has made the 2018 Jawa 350 Special. The design of
the motorcycle harks back to the legendary vintage racers, complete with a
vintage-style fairing with round headlamps, bar-end mirrors and low clip-ons.
The footpeg position is rear-set for sporty ergonomics.
The 2018 Jawa 350 Special has a 397 cc single
cylinder air-cooled heart with fuel injection. Pairing with a 5-speed
transmission, it generates 27 bhp at 6,500 rpm, and 30 Nm at 6,000 rpm. The
motorcycle has a top speed of 128 kmph, and weighs 160 kg. The frame rides on
telescopic front fork and twin rear shock absorbers. Brakes include discs on
both ends, with a single-channel ABS up front. The estimated cost of the
motorcycle stands at GBP 5,295, OTR in UK; and the bike will be launched around
June-July, this year.
