Look at page five. There is some type of Jawa CZ motor custom listed. That was back in the day, so there has to be more history at least about building customs with Jawa parts.

That thing is liquid cooled too!!!

That is not a JAWA, it was a 250r that a guy tried to convince people that it was a CZ250

CZ & JAWA are related. I have seen that quad at Glamis.

I had several Jawa motorcycles years ago; but never heard of the trike. I see it is later model; as I found the same pic and story that Iprefer3 posted earlier.

The Jawa motorcycles I had were nicknamed Twingles because of their engine/ piston configuration. They were 250cc, 2-stroke, 2 piston, 2 exhaust pipes, one carb. Both cylinders fired together; as both pistons reached top dead center at the same time. There was a common intake passage from the carb to the cylinders.

They ran pretty good as I remember. Well, good enough to run with the other 250cc bikes of the time.

The trike may have a different engine configuration; but I can't find any particulars at this time. That engine is a much later design. I will continue to search for more info; I'm intrigued now.

In the trike, i believe its a 350CC twin, its usually compared to the Yamaha RD350. As far as the 250 Twingle, My uncle has a 1962 "Sears Allstate" Puch with that same engine.

Wouldn't surprise me, Russian and Eastern European Tech was always copied from other countries. For the longest time, the Russian big Bore Ural motorcycles used a flat twin copied from a WWII era BMW. Same for Ukrainian Dneprs and the chinese Jianchangs.

So let's re cap here. 350 twin cylinder two stroke, similar in design to a RD350.... AKA Banshee..... With no suspension. What a concept..... It can only end in two ways, Dirt drags or hospital. Both most likely.

It's called "eyes on experience" what? it looks like a 3 wheeler its what all the cool kids want, we'll sell a truck load....
