Company History
Jawa became a global everyman’s motorcycle after WWII, exporting tough 250/350 two-strokes that started in all weather and tolerated rough roads from Prague to Pune. The brand’s engineering focused on durability and accessible service, with oil-bath clutches, enclosed chains, and frames that resisted abuse. Jawa racers and ISDT efforts added sporting credibility, but the heartbeat was practical mobility; in many countries a Jawa meant the family could travel. Post-communist upheaval thinned production, yet the badge endured in clubs and licensed builds. A major modern chapter arrived via India, where Classic Legends revived the name on retro-styled singles with modern emissions kit, ABS, and dealer support. Historically, Jawa bridges eras: elegant Czech engineering under state economies, then a 21st-century rebirth tuned to a market that once embraced it. A tidy older 350 carries the aroma of two-stroke Europe; a new India-built Jawa carries the silhouette forward for new commuters chasing style and sense.
