interesting bikes found randomly..

Mind the gap, it's mahoosive, it's gonna squat under acceleration something rotten.
You'd be better off putting the Unitrak bodywork onto a Bandit, it'd be more work but the resulting bike would be better, or just having a Bandit and a Unitrak 1100 (though it can cost a fortune to rebuild a Z engine if you're mechanically incompetent)

What about...

Inazuma 1200 with EFE bodywork.

Feck me KFB, are you trying to get me a divorce, I've already bought one bike this month, that's nice and it looks good value

It's local to me, I'll look after it until you can sneak it into the garage, the wife won't know, all bikes look the same to women.

If I showed it to my wife she'd say "But it, you've got the money" but I have to limit myself, otherwise it's going to get ridiculous , I've got one bike currently in the garden waiting for me to assemble a shed.

I'm probably in a minority here, but I think this looks pretty cool...

I especially likes the high head lamp.

Needs to lose the piggyback shocks for traditional ones tho'

Yes,yes. A minority of one maybe!

It looks like an overstuffed Honda Benly and that front end has a permanently surprised look,like someone who has been goosed by a man with very large fingers.

Yeah, that's cooler than cucumber ice cream.

Somewhat let down by the comically OEM rear footpeg mounts.

Also slower than the ridiculously overpriced old 350s that they're somehow still selling. The only bike I'm aware of that deliberately has two neutrals in the box.

Would you pay nearly 4k for a bike with an expected engine life of less than 15k that you can steal with a 6 inch nail?

[Bigjawa]

The Jawa/CZ road bikes, whilst being interesting to ride, were a bit rubbish, everything about them is so crude it's a miracle they're actually able to run. Like I said before, the key is a spike that literally can be replaced by a nail, adjusting the chain was a lottery, you couldn't physically test the tension because of the full enclosure, not that it mattered because the chain outlasted the engine which blew up the first time at 5000 miles, then terminally at 18000 miles.

I took an MZ that stood me £35 round Europe and the single mechanical issue was a dead capacitor, the first time I took a three month old Jawa with 2000 miles on it to Portrush, it broke down.

Worse still was that parts availability was dealer only and was roughly twice to three times the price of a Japanese dealer part.

That new Indian Jawa thing is advertised as having a top speed of leas than 80, who will actually buy it?

[KungFooBob]

My Bullet 500 EFI will only just do 80mph and that's the a loud pipe, K&N and PCV.

[Bigjawa]

Guarantee that it won't be scrap at 18000 miles though.....

For a short time 20 years ago Jawa CZ sold enduro bikes as Pragas, they made a 610 4 stroke and a 250 2 stroke, the 250 was £2400 and was a good bike, it was a little heavy for an enduro bike, but ride nicely, no idea about reliability as I only had a brief play on one, the 610 was very KTM LC4 like, but the importer didn't have one of those as a test bike.

[Bigjawa]

I remember the local Jawa dealer selling rather tasty looking 125 trailies that had a few bits that had been nicked from Jawas but these things had USD forks and were water cooled. They sat there for years, can't remember the brand but they were a purple sort of colour.

Pragas were yellow and blue, only purple enduro bike I can remember is the Spanish Alfer brand
