REVIVAL OF A LEGEND

The Jawa 350 has been revived, this time with a 334-cc motor along with some other changes. We recently got to test the motorcycle in Bhuj to bring you our first impression

WHEN IT COMES TO STYLING, THE JAWA 350 HAS the classic silhouette of the vintage model from the 1970s. It gets a round halogen headlight at the front, a 13.2-litre chrome tank, a single-piece seat, and twin exhaust units that run parallel to the ground. The motorcycle rides on an 18-inch spoked wheel at the front and a 17-inch spoked one at the rear. The pinstripes we see flowing around the bodywork are not hand-painted, they are stickers. Overall, the fit and finish seems good and the chrome gives the motorcycle a premium look. There are three colour options on offer: Maroon, Black, and the newly introduced Mystique Orange. The bike sports an analogue speedometer that is set anticlockwise along with a fuel-gauge and a little more info that pops up in the small digital unit on top of the speedometer.
