The dream bike of past - Jawa Californian
« on: July 20, 2016, 05:21:46 AM »
This was the coolest bike when I was growing up - of course the competition was limited with japs basically not existing on the market.

But it is not worth 5 grand, IMHO.

It is a beautiful restoration but I'd never pay 5K.  Heck I only got 1500 for my CZ enduro...

       Would like to have a Californian, but, like Mo Mo, I wouldn't pay that much ($5,000)either. And I am a big fan of those old Jawas, especially the 250 & 350. This one was Nice too.  8) ;)
