My Suzuki Bikes in Bikes & Motorcycle Directory

    

I got my drivers license in 1984 when I was 18 years old. Before that Ive already owned two motorcycles. My first bike was a Jawa 250 from the 60s or perhaps late 50s, that I bought from my older brother for just a few bucks. It was fun the ride it in the woods and on small empty roads, especially when youre just in your early teens. My Jawa was customized with 350 forks, the battery was replaced with an alternator from a moped and everything unnecessary, like head light and most of the steel covers were stripped. It was also trimmed and and had a few more horsepower compared to original, thats at least what my brother told me. ”We tested the bike performance riding in front of my friends car. The cars meter showed 140 kilometers per hour. The Jawa factory itself had published the information needed to increase the performance. I think the bike had about 18 horsepower.” I dont know if thats true, but the engine it was powerful enough for me anyway.
