JAWA 2-stroke single power

...this is a cockpit view during a little country road ride with a quite special JAWA 559. It used to be a 250 cc which was converted to a 350 cc single incl. reed valve and large carb. Quite similar to what was offered on the US-market as Model Type 573 (no reed valve at the time of course). The top speed of the 559 R is almost 150 kmph now and its torque is phenomenal when comparing with stock performance. Enjoy the 1960s 2-stroke power classic with many advanced home made parts as well as Libenak / 579 / 553 etc. components. The following video shows how it was made: Further details are here: Thanks for your positive comments.
