Saw this post it on Facebook. Bike looks quite similar to the Continental GT.

I'd like to see these Jawas "in the flesh". Unfortunately the UK importer also seems to be the entire list of UK dealers!

Nice looking bike.   I probably won't be around if and when it ever makes it to the US!

I don't know which is better, a Chinese bike or an Indian bike. But I do like the fact that comes with a Delphi fuel injection and retro fairing.

The bike looks really great with the full fairing and looks how I'd like my GT to look although the low bars wouldn't be as easy going.
A fairing like that would add about £700 cost to fit to my GT so all credit to Jawa for including this as standard.
That said and having looked at the specification, I think the GT is a higher spec bike with the brembo brakes, decent suspension, Harris designed frame which I think is a big strong point for the GT plus a few other things.
It does look good though don't you think. In fact it looks mega all round.

Powered by a 397cc engine, but they call it a 350?  ??? I would have thought they'd follow suit and call it a 400.
