2014 Jawa-CZ 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2014 Jawa-CZ 250 sport motorcycle, Jawa-CZ pairs a 233.9 cc (14.3 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17.4 HP (12.7 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 17.3 Nm (12.8 lb-ft) at 5,300 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 74.4 HP per liter and a 2,200 rpm working window between peak torque (5,300 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the 250 measures 139 kg (306 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.99 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 120 km/h (75 mph).
