1982 Jawa Mustang Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Jawa for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 1982 Jawa Mustang relies on a 49.9 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4 HP (2.9 kW) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 3-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 38.0 x 44.0 mm (1.5 x 1.7 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Mustang measures 62 kg (137 lbs) dry. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 267 km (166 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 70 km/h (43 mph).
