Jawa 500 Speedway Racer

The distinctive 1985 Jawa 500 Speedway Racer stands as a testament to classic Czech engineering, hailing from Elk Grove, California. This unique motorcycle is powered by a methanol-burning 493cc four-stroke single, featuring a single-speed transmission and manual shifting, perfectly suited for its intended track racing purpose. Boasting an era-appropriate chrome exhaust system and rear fender, this racer showcases its original 1985 build yet bears the fruits of recent restoration efforts, including rebuilt engine components and new tires. Despite being originally purchased as a non-running project in 2017 by the current seller, it now commands attention with an active listing on Bring a Trailer, offering enthusiasts an exciting opportunity to acquire this piece of speedway history.
