Immediately after the war, Jawa was the first motorcycle
company on the European continent that came on the
market with a well tried and modern new bike. This was
in the form of a 249 cc. one cylinder two-stroke.
Unfortunately Jawa was nationalized by the communists
and Janecek junior left the country. In 1948 the first
series of 350 cc's appeared in the frame used by the 250
cc. This model was first introduced as Jawa-Ogar,
because it was produced at the factory of the third
Czechoslovakian motor company; Ogar. Yet, the same year,
this factory became part of the Jawa factory. The Jawa
350 cc. had a two cylinder engine, based on the Jawa 250
cc. The motor had flat pistons, reverse flow and a
capacity of 348cc. The top speed was about 65 mph. When
four-stroke motors were introduced, Jawa followed the
way. As a base model the OHC two cylinder was developed
for a series of road racing motors. In 1952 the Jawa
four stroke 500 cc. OHC, type 15/00 came out. With some
improvements through the years, the last 500cc came out
in 1958.
The reason Jawa stopped the development of the 500cc
four-stroke was due to production difficulties. A shame
from technical viewpoint, but economically
understandable. The new look was two new side cabins and
a third one under the buddyseat. The wheel suspension
was hydraulic shock absorbers with long stroke for both
front and rear wheels. In 1954 the new 250 cc and 350 cc
went into production as Jawa-Cz. Shortly after
introduction, these motorcycles were given the nickname
kyvacka (swing). The official model was Jawa-Cz 353 and
354. From these motorcycles Jawa-Cz also made lighter
versions like a 125cc and a 175cc. The increase of the
spring stroke lead to the decrease of the wheel size
from 19" to 16". When the Soviet Union became a market,
the production concentrated on the Jawa 354, that had a
sidecar available. At that time the almighty communist
president of Czechoslovakia, Novotny said socialists
don't drive motorcycles. In spite of all this and the
entrance of the Japanese motorcycles, Jawa still
survived. It wasn't easy because of the changing market,
and an economy that has suffered a lot from almost fifty
years of communist economics.
