jcstokes Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com is very useful Posts: 2119 Mauku New Zealand Gender:	Re: Jawa 350 OHC Reply #3 - 05/28/19 at 12:41:17 Interestingly enough, the Czech Jawa made a 650cc single, Rotax powered a few years ago, don't know whether the Indians will come up with something similar. My first bike was a Jawa 350 twin, in the sevneties.

I really like Enfield 650s. I love all the 60s retro bikes , before cruiser and rice rocket were even thought of , it was just called a motorcycle.

One of the "requirements" that I believe is important for any of these retro singles (if they want to make any sales in the US) - is the ability to keep up with traffic on the highway. Even the tiny Smart Cars, Prius and other "eco" cars can go 70-75 mph without a problem......owning a motorcycle that struggles to reach 60 mph and can only be ridden on backroads or downtown is really going to limit the sales.
