I asked the same thing a while back here.
Slow response. I don't think Jawa is a household name in the RTW-MC community :-)
BTW: In Europe, Jawa is primarily known for making somewhat sturdy, easy-to-maintain two-stroke powered bikes. After new emissions laws were passed in the EU, they had to enter the four-stroke frenzy. Hence the Rotax powered bikes.

Jawa
The styling of the new JAWA's may not be to nice but JAWA has a reputation of building reliable bikes. The are not showbikes but workhorses.

the price of jawa 650 dakar is almost same with a bmw f650 or honda xl650.
might be hard to find parts and services out of europa.
i have written a mail to them to be my sponsor for a rtw trip so that they can also proof that the bike is reliable. but did not responce

looks like the same engine as bmw f650, the rotax lump.
the main problem would be getting parts. with mainstream bikes the parts can be oredered and be with you quite quickly, with niche bikes you could wait months for a part. not much good if you're stranded away from home.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
