Jawa 350: A Symbol Of Nostalgia In The Modern Era

We at Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles have recently launched the Jawa 350, a successor of the Jawa which has always remained one of the most authentic neo-retro motorcycles. While the talking points of the modern Jawa 350 bike are its new bigger, more powerful 334cc engine and wider tyres, the motorcycle thankfully retains its nostalgic design that has always been its prime identity. Here, we take a look at all the design elements of the new Jawa 350, which make it a truly modern interpretation of the legendary Jawa retro motorcycles from the bygone decades:

The Authentic Round-Themed Design

One look at the Jawa 350 is enough to confirm that it indeed is a reincarnated version of the original Jawa 250 two-stroke motorcycle from the yesteryears. The new Jawa 350 in modern era gets the same round-themed headlamp, fuel tank and fenders. Even the boxy side panels have rounded edges, just like the original classic-looking Jawa two-stroke motorcycle. With its design highly inspired by the historic two-stroke Jawa motorcycle, the new Jawa 350 is a perfect tribute to the rich legacy of Jawa spanning decades.

Premium Chrome Finish

For a retro motorcycle, the presence of chrome gives it more authenticity, and the Jawa 350 rightfully follows the tradition with the right use of chrome from front to rear. In all of its colour options, the Jawa 350 features a chrome finish for the headlamp bezel, surrounds for the instrument console and tail lamp and sides of the fuel tank. Even the rearview mirrors, dual exhaust pipes and engine casings are bathed in chrome, giving it the much-needed bling factor.

Iconic Twin Exhaust Look

The original Jawa two-stroke motorcycles from the previous decades were unique for offering twin exhaust setups for their single-cylinder engines. Following the suite, the new Jawa 350 bike is the only neo-retro motorcycle in its category to have a dual exhaust setup, giving it the nostalgic appeal of its predecessors. The shiny chrome finish of these straight exhaust pipes makes the motorcycle look more premium and large for its size.

Elegant-looking Gold Inserts

While the chrome finish for many of the components instils some retro appeal in the overall design of the Jawa 350, the additional touch of contrast golden inserts only lifts the overall nostalgia factor of the motorcycle. The Jawa 350 has golden stripes on the sides of the front and rear fenders, sides of the fuel tank and side body panels. More golden inserts can be seen on the beautifully crafted fuel tank cap.

Is the new Jawa 350 successful in evoking nostalgia?

The Jawa 350 always had its design as its biggest USP, and thankfully, that remains unchanged in the new updated version. Along with the already existing colour options – black and maroon, even the new Mystique Orange paint shade exhibits the classic and stylish aura of the Jawa motorcycles from the previous decades. The tasteful execution of chrome and golden inserts further adds to the glory of the new Jawa 350 in the modern era.
