The Jawa Sprint Motorcycle Is an Aluminum Dream Come True
Ride the roads in style.
Due to make its debut at Glemseck 101, a two-wheeled celebration of gasoline and good taste in the German town of Leonberg, is the steampunk 350cc Jawa Sprint motorcycle. Designed by Berlin based Urban Motors, the bike was stripped of everything except the motor, before building an entirely new chassis from steel. The design of the alloy bodywork was a collaboration with Marvin Diehl of KRT Framework, who fashioned the metal himself. Everything is book-ended by two 23-inch alloy SM Pro rims. On the engine side, Urban Motors have installed a Jikov carb and fabricated a pair of short exhausts. With no need for lights or turn signals, the wiring’s been stripped down to the bare essentials. Weighing just under 200 pounds, this little 1964 Jawa 350 might be racing against 21st century machinery like the BMW R nineT and Triumph Thruxton R.
