A gentleman posted this today on one of the Moto Guzzi forums I frequent. Very interesting...

Found this yesterday, there's a little museum Berlin Alexanderplatz, wasn't looking for it just stumbled into it.

interesting V twin, whether this was a prototype, factory job or something an enthusiast built I cant say? Seems a flat twin and V twin were built along similar lines (looks a bit like 2 x ETZ250 block/heads?) but only the flat was exhibited in a motorcycle.

I just want a clone of my RT125 AS A 400cc daily driver

breakwellmz's picture is of one of the Jawa prototypes. They built a 420cc and a 500cc, similar design, around 1979. There was a Russian copy of it built sometime later, but none of them made it to production

Meanwhile here is a picture of a BK500!

I think it's rather attractive in a sort of Soviet-bloc way. Apparently Jawa-CZ has been purchased by the Mahindra company of India.

Pikipiki posted this photo of the flat twin yesterday:
