Wow, what a genius brain, commitment and hard work to develop such engine


Czechoslovakian Jawa was very popular in Europe...
Thanks for sharing Mr.P

Wow. Just wow. I'm all about crazy bonkers engine geometry. This is awesome.
And a radial! Our office is spitting distance from John Wayne, and the Lyon Air Museum. If I even think something with a radial is flying around, I'm in the parking lot looking for it. On the roof if I have enough time to get up there.
Thanks for sharing, Mr. P.

You can still buy new 2-Stroke Jawa's in the UK. I think because the volume is so low, they can get round the Euro emission requirements.

As a two-stroke, that is amazing in regards to Euro 4/5 emission requirements.

Jawa had a 2-stroke/2-cyl/350cc in Europe already in mid 50s...very popular with big demand in former Eastern Bloc countries.
