Undoubtedly, the new Jawa is one of the most hotly anticipated motorcycles of 2018, and has made a big splash in the Indian market when it was launched a short while ago. Classic Legends has really worked towards dishing out a modern experience while drawing on the soul and charm of easier times here in the affordable mid-displacement space. The new Jawa exudes history in the way of logos used on the tank, the side panels, on the horn and the plain lettering on the headlamp glass. The gorgeous engine, the cooling fins (on a liquid cooled engine!) and the crankcase cover make it look properly old-school! But how much have things actually changed from the days of the original Czech machine to its modern-day namesake? So we got our hands on a gorgeous, albeit a slightly rusty, Jawa 353/04 to find that out. In our quick video, we compare the design and mechanical highlights of the latest Jawa from Classic Legends to its over 50 year old predecessor.
