Czech Boxer

Here's a machine that I'd never come across before.



It's a prototype 500cc Jawa Type 824 four stroke flat-twin. The project which started in about 1974 with a 350cc engine, and was later increassed to 500cc, never reached full production.

  1. Good grief! Did they do two-stroke triples as well?

    1. Not to my knowledge, but I didn't know about this one either.

  2. Tried posting a reply but it disappeared into the ether! Try again: They might not have built a 2 stroke triple, but they built a V4 2 stroke racer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7VwA-6kzaI
