Jawa 500 OHC Twin 1957 |

This Jawa 500 OHC comes from France in Paris, and it was a special collector item for a family for more than 40 years. This Jawa OHC may have been immediately sold to France by the factory in 1957. Maybe that is why the lamps are yellow, as was common in France at the time, and the rear light is from Hella. The original Jawa lamp diameter was too small for street use in France. Other small deviations from the Czech Jawa can be traced back to the French past. This motorcycle was shown on the internationally sold motorcycle card in 1992 in the same unchanged condition as JAWA 500 OHC Twin Type 15/02. Seven years ago there was a major technical overhaul of the engine and transmission. This original Jawa 500 OHC has matching engine- and frame numbers and the original Typeplate as well. The motorcycle runs and rides fine. More photos and videos on request.
