Thanks for your best wishes. I’ve no idea how many were imported, but it can’t have been many, and when I bought it I had never seen one before. The shape of the tank really appealed to me, together with the horizontal cylinder layout. It is a proper motorcycle, but nice and light, at less than 130 pounds. Almost no plastic either ! At the time, young lads all wanted a Yamaha FS1E, but the Jawa was cheaper, and just as fast, at about 45mph, a bit more with a slim teenage rider ! There are internet spares shops in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Hungary, with a very good range of remarkably cheap spares, costing far less than equivalent Japanese parts.
