2007 Jawa-CZ 650 Dakar Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Jawa-CZ for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2007 Jawa-CZ 650 Dakar relies on a 651.9 cc (39.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 46.3 HP (33.8 kW) at 5,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 57 Nm (42 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 71 HP per liter and a 250 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (5,250 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 650 Dakar measures 195 kg (430 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.24 HP/kg (4.21 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,518 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 165 km/h (103 mph).
