Rider Profile

Best ForSuits a beginner to intermediate rider comfortable with a modest, low-powered two-stroke single and a kickstart routine.
PurposeBest suited to relaxed classic-style riding around town and light weekend jaunts rather than serious sport or performance use despite its Sport category label.
Rider FitLight dry weight and a low seat height make it easy to handle and forgiving for smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterA charming, old-school two-stroke machine that rewards a leisurely, mechanically-engaged riding style over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking modern power, long-distance comfort, or any off-road capability.

2006 Jawa-CZ 350 Calefornian Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Jawa-CZ 350 Calefornian, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
