Motorcycles of the Java brand are still dreamed of by some Russian men. They represent reckless youth. Bikes from Czechoslovakia were supplied to the USSR in large quantities, the Soviet Union was the main buyer of the brand. It is difficult to say how many motorcycles from Czechoslovakia were exported as a percentage, but not less than 90%. Everyone was satisfied with this state of affairs, because Jawa clearly surpassed the Izh models in terms of performance culture and build quality. The last batches of bikes of the Czech brand came to the USSR at the very beginning of the 90s. Then, when the country collapsed, they were no longer supplied.
But the Jawa plant managed to survive, unlike Izh, who got rid of motorcycle production. Although, for this we must say thanks to the investors from India, who revived the legendary brand. And he was already on his last legs, despite the emergence of new models. Thanks to financial injections, the manufacturer was revived. Now he focuses more on retro style. The most interesting thing is that among the Java motorcycles there is also an old two-stroke model. Of course, its "Soviet" essence was slightly distorted by modern knots. But the sound of the engine remained the same as in his youth. Thanks to the author of the Mysportbike channel for the nostalgic video!
