This bike gets a parallel-twin air-cooled engine from Chinese manufacturer Shinray, with a fuel injection system from Delphi. ![]() The actual new model that has been introduced is the 350 OHC, again styled to be a tribute to the iconic 350 Type 634 two-stroke from the 1970s. ![]() There are, of course, a few changes to the ergonomics as the Sportard was designed to be a dual-sport bike, while the Vintage has a more street-oriented stance. Mechanically, nothing has really changed and the bike makes 49hp of peak power with 57.5Nm of torque on tap. This new Vintage model is a more classically styled model that is a throwback to the iconic Type 634. Back in 2011, Jawa had introduced the 660 Sportard powered by a 660cc, parallel-twin, four-stroke, liquid-cooled motor sourced from Italian company Minarelli. Now, the 660 Vintage isn’t really a new motorcycle. ![]() Although Jawa is known for its two-stroke machines, the bikes – 350 OHC and 660 Vintage – are powered by four-stroke motors. Now while that is still a couple of years away, the Czech bike maker has launched its first couple of bikes after its acquisition by the Indian auto giant. Last year, the big news was that Mahindra & Mahindra had acquired the legendary Jawa brand of motorcycles and was planning to bring it back to India.
