It's been a while since we've been waiting for the new generation Jawa Motorcycles to break cover and that is finally happening today. Several spy pictures/ videos have been circulating around for the past few weeks, giving us an idea of what the bike will look like, and it's interesting to note that the all-new Jawa looks very similar to what the original Jawa looked like. That said, we are expecting more than one motorcycle to be showcased today. Of course, the engine powering the new bikes has been revealed along with technical specifications and the engine has been styled to look like the old engine, complete with two peashooter exhausts. So while the event unfolds, here's all the updates as and when we get them.
