XS650: Dreaming

These bikes are becoming popular. With good reason. There are downsides however. Availability of quality parts. Pricing.

Some people are simply dreamers. Found this on US ebay. $249.99. A bargain. If you’re looking for chicken lip socks.

XS2 Supp Manual

I bought 2 of these in January. £20 for both. Acceptable.

XS650: Jawa 350/360 and Sidecar


JAWA 350-360, sidecar VELOREX 560 and trailer PAV 41


JAWA 350-360, VELOREX 560 sidecar, kool PAV 41 trailer

I’m fitting a Velorex sidecar (562) to an XS650 so I can take my son to school when he starts later this year. Velorex and Jawa are, at least in the eastern bloc an old married couple.

Although the Velorex is light, fibreglass, I personally think the Jawa, 18 kW (24.5 hp) @ 5500 rpm, a little underpowered. Jawas are still made in the Czech Republic (ex Czechoslovakia). Twin cylinder. 2 stroke.
