Motorcycle "Java 650": a classic from Jawa

Java 650 was very long-awaited for fans of the company.

Before it, the company produced only racing models and series in a small number of copies.

And then a magnificent representative appeared, created on the basis of the engine of the allied Austrian company Rotax. The first pilot version of the motorcycle was presented back in 2003 in the Czech Republic, where it caused a wave of emotions.

The contradictory opinions made the model the first PR campaign, which made the developers understand the genius of the project.

Java 650 retained many of its signature features, but also acquired new ones. There are several advantages of the model:

• The design of the motorcycle is created in such a way that a person can easily service it (candles, thermostat and other elements are conveniently located);
• The power unit and gearbox are pleasing with their characteristics even now, so many years after the model was released;
• The motorcycle has a simple and convenient design , and in general its execution is very successful;

The classic Jawa quality has been preserved , but the model also has several disadvantages:

• Instability of braking (the front shock absorber reaches its limit during moderate braking);
• In some phases of riding, the vibration of the engine increases (for a single-cylinder motorcycle this is natural, but the sensations are very strange while riding);
• Feedback from owners and experts conducting test drives revealed another problem: there are installation defects in the electrical equipment system (this does not create serious problems during further operation if you carefully monitor this).

Model 650 became popular not only in its homeland , as most copies were exported.

Thanks to its pleasant and simple controls, the motorcycle fell in love with the female audience. Although the men did not deprive him of attention.

What was especially pleasing about this Soviet model is that it has three variations .

Jawa 650 Classic

The Java 650 Classic, also known as the Police, defies definition.

Even the creator himself declared the model as something special and exceptional.

It comes closest to choppers, and its external characteristics interestingly combine traditional features and modern relevance.

The characteristics of the unit are perfect for travel lovers, and as an additional bonus you get an economical motorcycle with a trailed sidecar, which increases the overall load capacity significantly.

Like other motorcycles in the line, the Police is equipped with a single-cylinder Rotax Bombardier engine with a displacement of 650 cubic centimeters and a water cooling system.

The five-speed gearbox made a loud statement thanks to smooth gear changes and quiet, pleasant operation.

Safety is ensured by the semi-duplex steel body and good brakes. Jawa 650 Classic appeared earlier than its brothers, in 2004, and therefore is currently slightly outdated.

Motorcycle Java 650

Welcome to the informational biker variety of the All About Moto website! Our story today will be about the legendary Czech “Java”. In this section you will find a description of several representatives of this brand of iron horses. This article contains information about a separate series of motorcycles, which was one of the last for the above-mentioned company. Moreover, we will talk about the line of bikes in the context of one of our most common models.

Jawa 650 “Style” bike

Many excellent two- and even three-wheeled vehicles were created by Czechoslovak designers. The Java 650 motorcycle of the above type is considered to be as balanced as possible according to its technical, ergonomic and aesthetic characteristics. In addition to its beautiful modern appearance, which attracts the attention of others, the bike has the most convenient operational properties.

The high maneuverability of the Jawa 650 Style allows you to quickly move on the bike both on city streets and on the highway. This model can bring a sense of superiority to the life of any motorcyclist. This iron horse has many advantages, which we will discuss below. In the meantime, we note that this two-wheeled unit has collected many awards in Eastern Europe. The bike, for example, was awarded the title of “Best Product of 2005.”

First of all, I would like to note the power indicators of this motorcycle. Its power unit (engine) is represented by a reliable Austrian product from the ROTAX brand. The latter was called “Bombardier DS 654” and was created according to the design type from BMW.

The Iron Horse was able to satisfy all the strict requirements from the European Union. This relates mainly to issues regarding emissions into the atmosphere. In this field, the Jawa 650 bike has achieved maximum safety parameters. Among two-wheeled vehicles with approximately the same power, this motorcycle is considered one of the most advanced in an environmental sense.

Many innovations were applied to the design of this steel horse. Some of its components are ultra-modern.

The Java 650 Style motorcycle is equipped with a 4-valve engine from the Czech plant. The latter has a modern gas distribution system "DONS". In addition, we note that the power unit of the Jawa 650 Style motorcycle practically does not require constant maintenance.

Designers from the Czech Republic gave the iron horse a modern asymmetric combustion chamber with a pair of valves for each cylinder. This makes it possible to completely burn the fuel.

In addition, the motor part of the iron horse was equipped with a balancing shaft. Thanks to this, the bike is free of vibration and fully meets all high standards of comfortable operation.

Jawa 650 Dakar

A 2006 model that was a little ahead of its time. At the time of the presentation, many began to criticize the Dakar, saying that outwardly it is an enduro tourist, but in reality it is a city bike.

And besides, angular shapes came into fashion only a year or more later.

In terms of functionality, this model has no equal in the price segment: ergonomics at the highest level, good optics, a wide and comfortable saddle, reliable brakes and a powerful motor.

In principle, this is exactly the model about which it’s not a sin to say “for an amateur .

The Jawa 650 Dakar takes some getting used to. If this is your first bike, then you will not want to part with it for a very long time.

If you are switching from a newer and more expensive bike, the sensations are much more gray.

Technical characteristics of Jawa 650 models

A stylish bike of limited production - Ural IMZ 8.1024 Cobra, which is now a collector's dream.
The basis for the creation of this motorcycle was the Ural classic model.

Power unit

The Java 650 motorcycle in the Classic version is equipped with a purchased Rotax engine (model 654 DS) with a power of 48 hp. (35.4 kW) at 6500 rpm. At that time, it was a very modern power unit, which was installed on motorcycles from many manufacturers. The starting system is from an electric starter. The power unit is a four-stroke single-cylinder engine with a displacement of 652 cm3. Thanks to this high indicator, the torque is 57 N/m and is achieved at 5 thousand revolutions.

The cylinder head has 4 valves, and the camshafts in the head are driven by a chain. The engine has a liquid cooling system and a dry sump lubrication system. Despite the fairly high compression ratio, the motorcycle can run on A92 gasoline. Although it is more desirable to use A95.

Due to the relative simplicity of the design and low boost, the engine is not picky in maintenance and has a long service life (especially in comparison with old 2-stroke engines). The transmission has 5 speeds and is supplied by Rotax with the engine.
