Jawa Moto

A successor company was formed in 1997 in Týnec nad Sázavou, continuing the name as JAWA Moto.

Because of the collapse of the German motor industry, Wanderer had stopped production, being unable to compete with BMW.

Although priced highly, through the first years (and several constructional fixes), this motorcycle was successful and was considered reliable.

This test motorcycle was a custom JAWA 175 equipped with dual handlebars, a second pair in the back for the instructor.

A powerful two-stroke motorcycle known as the JAWA 250/350 with the compact engine, rear suspension and many other innovations was exported to more than 120 countries.

Under the Jawa name, a variety of mopeds with two-stroke engines were sold in foreign markets.

In the first half of the 1990s, sales and exports declined, and the production of Babettas (with type's 192 Sting and 134 Hooper) was discontinued in 1999.

Earlier models manufactured in Czechoslovakia bore the CZ Jawa emblem on the side of the fuel tank.

[9] On November 15, 2018, the Classic Legends launched three motorcycles in India: Jawa (nicknamed Jawa 300[10][11]), Forty-Two (named for the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything),[12] and Pérák, named for the Czech mythical figure Pérák.

Jawa, Forty-Two and 42 share the same technical specifications - 293-cc (20,4 kW), front disc, rear drum, single-channel ABS, fuel injection system, liquid-cooled engine with radiator, and kerb weight of 170 kg.

[18] Classic Legends inaugurated the first Jawa motorcycles in December 2018 in the Pune region of Maharashtra.

[19] Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Jawa sold 50,000 motorcycles in twelve months, with plans to increase production capacity to meet demand.

[20] They launched an initiative #ForeverHeroes to lend a helping hand to the children of martyrs, by auctioning the first 13 motorcycles from its production batch.

The entire amount received in the fundraising auction will be used for education of the children of martyrs of the Indian Armed Forces.

In track racing, JAWA sustained a presence in the world championship until the mid-'60s with respectable performances considering their limited budget.

Speedway World Champions who have ridden successfully on Jawa bikes include Ivan Mauger, Barry Briggs, Ove Fundin, Ole Olsen, Michael Lee, Tony Rickardsson, and Kelvin Tatum.

[23] Following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia and the dismantling of the communist bloc, the Jawa consumer motorcycles and the Speedway competition bikes were divided into separate companies.

In July 2021, a model suitable for both road and light terrain RVM Jawa 500 Scrambler (471 cc, 31.5 kW) was added to the market.
