ENARADA, Mysuru, July 12, 2015
The second Sunday of every July across the globe is very dear to owners of Jawa motorcycles. It is the day to celebrate the power and legacy of 175, 250 & 350cc Yezdi/ Jawa bikes by taking out a rally to mark International jawa Day. These Czech made or Czech inspired motorcycles made a mark in Indian Automotive history as an exotic piece of machinery.
