I wish Jawa all the luck. They look cool and have history and charm. Remember when the RE Himalayan came out? All the issues and complaints. And now look at Royal Enfield. They just can't make a bad bike. There's something for everyone. And no stopping them. Go Jawa!!
Since Jawa has been revived in India, maybe they'll eventually be able to do what RE did and make bikes worthy of export. Currently they sell 4 models. Two classic and two bobber styles. Edit: They original company is still manufacturing. It's been brought back to Indian market by Mahindra & Mahindra.
@@andyc750 Are they still making Jawas in the Czech Republic? I thought they stopped making new bikes. Edit: Apologies. Just checked their site and you're right. They manufacture other models too.

@@petrtr7602 Well the Indian models are facing criticisms with regards to their quality too. Especially since their chief competition is RE which has had some time to refine their products.
I love the idea of a big, big single like this one. I wish a major brand would make one for us in the USA. I rode my 1970 BSA Victor all winter in Bozeman, Montana, my senior year in college, and I just love that big single sound and power. I'm ready for a new version, with an electric start for old farts like me.
Alright, an issue with the charging, but still seems a fine bike. We couldn't but help see the speedo fogged out when you were moving. Don't tell me there's the equivalent of the blanket 20mph speed limit there? as we have here in parts of the UK, making getting anywhere ridiculously frustrating.
These look great bikes - look forward to them taking off in the UK. Re the battery problem - I have seen several instances of other new bikes experience similar problems.
I've waited years for a 650 single to come to the USA. The BSA Gold Star isn't sold here. I did have a Suzuki S40/650. Wonderful engine but it was awfully uncomfortable. This Jawa isn't sold in the USA either.
Is that compatible to Euro 5? The XL650R is "grandfathered" in use, but that is Honda. I was told getting these big air cooled singles through emissions is not possible. I LIKE IT!
First time I saw a Jawa, was in 1981, I loved it then and love them still although I never owned one personally. The dealership that sold the Jawa let me ride one on a bike rally, I was not totally sure on the reliability of it but it came in 2nd after a Yamaha RD350!
Someone address to a confusion: Jawa came to India way back in the 60s. And Farokh Irani bought it under the name. He created Ideal Yezdi which used to sell, Jawa under licence and in 1973 it became Yezdi. But it stopped completely in 1993. But it was revived by Classic Legends Private Limited a subsidiary of Mahindra & Mahindra in 2018. Not only they bought Jawa but also bought and relaunched BSA and gave rebirth to Yezdi. Now Mahindra went completely classic with BSA keeping its legacy not changing much to it. And launching it with its old looks, refining a bit but changing its engines with Mahindra's I guess. They wanted to keep it purely classic. With Jawa they went in a different route. They mixed the classic looks with modern ergonomics and Mahindra's engines like the engine from its model called Mojo. They launched models like JAWA 42 or JAWA 42 FJ. Completely new design like the 42 Bobber or Perak. And then the pure classic 300 or 650. With Yezdi it was completely different as it was originally Indian, based in Mysore but just manufactured licenced Jawa's. They were a completely new company under the ageis of Mahindra and with a complete new design philosophy of Modernity they launched 3 models a Scrambler with the name Scrambler an Adventurer with the name Adventure and a Tourer with the name Roadster. So Mahindra & Mahindra's subsidiary Classic Legends Private Limited revived three dead companies. 1. BSA (originally British now Indian) 2. Yezdi (Originally Indian now Indian) 3. Jawa (originally Czech but now I don't know, I got confused whether it's Indian or still Czech or a mix of India and Czech?) whats the scenario with Jawa?
Hello from France ! ( as always...) Rhooo , it seem's, I'm the first to reply ?! Yes...!! ✌ To be serious, I'm always happy seing a brand get reburying !! This bike seems very simple, and finally get just the essential ! A motor, two wheels, a bar that's all!that's it thirty years ago, when I get my licence, this kind of bike take the name of "basic" and they were very popular Concerning the motor and clutch, it seems coming from the Honda 650 NX dominator, from 1985, and I get same trouble with the clutch of my dominator ( need always to check and adjust ) , and the alternator get off twice, The same !! it's amazing !! and concerning the motor , I remember a lot of torque and a power on high revs, very pleasant , lot of character for a mono cylinder Anyway, very nice trip as always, and always the feeling to seat just in your back, thanks for sharing this so cute journey with us ( Lithuania seems so delightful) have a nice day miss, ride safe ✌V..
What a great shop entrance they have! Nice to hear it's a Honda engine and not a chinese clone version. Very nice tour around Lithuania too! Ihave several Watches from Vostok Europe and it's nice to see a part of their country. As a Griso and Classic350 owner, Jawa has a nice model range! Regards, Erik Netherlands
It is a Chinese clone engine, just copied from the original xbr500/dominator 650 manufactured by shineray. There's nothing honda about it,apart from it's looks
That was so interesting and very unfortunate about the brake down but all ended well ,I have quit a soft spot for Lithuania because I bought my HD Breakeout there only one month ago ,so Lithuania is the best .
In my younger years, now many moons ago, I knew a guy who had two JAWAs and always got a lot of attention when out on the dark wine-red one. I remember the finish not being very good compared to the Honda CB4s that were just starting to conquer the British market, but I was facinated by them and couldn't imagine what that far away country, where they where made, could be like. That was probably the time my wish to start travelling grew. But his bikes looked quite different to this "reborn" model you're on🤔? Btw, could this bike be the one to get your Dad back into Biking? The more I see of this country and it's fantastic roads, the more I wanna go. Was very close to going a few years ago, but then the world suddenly closed down. It's on my bucket list along with Malta and Tenerife, and many more, despite the fact that i've already been to many others, omg, why is Europe so big! Living in Switz. i'm very central for touring and i've not got that stupid channel to tackle first, eating up my petrol or accomodation £££s. Oh sorry, i'm rambling on. I only wanted to quickly say that i'd love to ride a Jawa, but I can't see them ever being sold here.
Lithuania is so big, but that one rain drop had to land on your speedo..., just like the last time, when you mounted your phone in front of the speedo..., of course by mistake😏. I wonder what will happen on your next bike review??
I was curious about this Jawa 650 with an eye to buying one..But in the UK they are not price competitive.The BSA is now priced at £4995. Now the Jawa is at £6500... Yet the Mash 650 classic is priced at £4500 and it has the same engine as the Jawa,, ( but can I ride a bike called a MASH I,m not sure !!!! My mates will take the piss)
Bueno, al menos no es como aquella Jawa 350 V4 de 1969 tipo 673. Con la que se murió Bill Ivy. Se la llamaba "La muerte que susurra". Well, at least it's not like that 1969 Jawa 350 V4 type 673. The one Bill Ivy died on. It was called "The Death That Whispers". Sorry, but the translation is from Google
I see it that way too, Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, or if you pay more, then get something from Triumph from the Boneville series - Speed Twin 900 ... sometimes it really pays to pay fifty percent more and you get quality on a completely different level.
@@mikeskidmore6754 Yes, the XR-350 is both RFVC and SOHC, same as my Honda XBR 500, the Chinese engine used in this bike is a clone of the bigger Honda Dominator 650cc trail bike engine but highly detuned
Those East European motorbikes like Jawa and MZ were bought in the 70's by the ignorant or skint people in the UK as they were a pile of rusting rubbish. It would appear they have not really improved with time despite the cold war over. It would seem that if you need a motorbike for reliable transport; it has to be a Japanese brand; though Chinese CF Moto could well become the Chinese Honda in the future.
I had a colleague who was a London courier on one of those "unreliable rusting rubbish" MZ, and after 8 years of use he paid cash for a house. I call that a good return on investment.
Jawa in the Czech Republic basically just makes a living by reselling models manufactured in China and India, while I think they only change a few details for the Chinese ones. Labor is so expensive today even in Eastern Europe that motorcycles are no longer manufactured here. For the sake of interest - the selling price of these motorcycles here in the Czech Republic is approx. 2.5 times higher than the selling price in the country of production of these machines - in India or China
These Jawas are Chinese clones of older Honda machines, they are assembled by Mahindra and rebranded in various names. 70s Jawas and MZs were bombproof
Give them time they will get it right be patient a good reliable machine takes work i would love to have a jawa come on guys the world wants your your passion jawa give it to us
I had the misfortune to own & ride a Jawa 350 cc paraffin pisser , a few decades ago . The most unreliable crock of sh💩t , I ever seen in my life . The electrics were a nightmare & the engine blew its main & big end bearings , & dumped its primary chain & clutch basket in the middle of a village . The bike was that bad , I would have gladly paid someone to take it out my sight , it was a real dog made in Communist Czechoslovakia .
the only thing JAWA about this bike is the name JAWA. made in china, engine used by other chinese makes. I have owned from new a CZ 125 and a JAWA 350 35 years ago
I wish Jawa all the luck. They look cool and have history and charm. Remember when the RE Himalayan came out? All the issues and complaints. And now look at Royal Enfield. They just can't make a bad bike. There's something for everyone. And no stopping them. Go Jawa!!

@@lipsee100 I survived it. Only had it try to break my leg once. After that, I never used the compression release again. It's slow, but, it's fun.
My friend bought a Jawa 250 Motocross bike from the Local Boat Dealership. It was fast ..I think it cost like $600.00 new in like 1976 or so .
That Honda engine will give Jawa unheard of reliability!

Another great review and wonderful ride.
I knew nothing about a JAWA. Now I know. Thanks. 👍
Got all excited then, thought or hoped it was going to be a 2 stroke, loving that accent ❤
Basically the same bike as the Mash 650 Classic, with a few cosmetic differences
Dear Deimamte, thank's a lot for this nice Bike and your comment. Greetings from Germany, Dirk 👍😊
can buy a variation of the same bike as a Mash 650 classic considerably cheaper it is built by Shineray in China
Is that compatible to Euro 5? The XL650R is "grandfathered" in use, but that is Honda. I was told getting these big air cooled singles through emissions is not possible. I LIKE IT!
The gauges were moving like Wall-E 's eyes

A motor, two wheels, a bar
that's all!that's it
thirty years ago, when I get my licence, this kind of bike take the name of "basic" and they were very popular
Concerning the motor and clutch, it seems coming from the Honda 650 NX dominator, from 1985, and I get same trouble with the clutch of my dominator ( need always to check and adjust ) , and the alternator get off twice,
The same !! it's amazing !!
and concerning the motor , I remember a lot of torque and a power on high revs, very pleasant , lot of character for a mono cylinder
Anyway, very nice trip as always, and always the feeling to seat just in your back, thanks for sharing this so cute journey with us

Interesting bike.
Would like to see them in Australia.
Thanks for the video.
That is soo cool. Id love a Jawa. Its got a real speedometer and tach.
🎉 love from northern areas Pakistan ❤❤❤❤
The roads are better than in the Uk, Jawa make fab speedway engines.
Looks like a direct copy of the old Honda Dominator 650 engine.
