Jawa Moto produced the Jawa 250 (1961), a Czech motorbike renowned for its sturdy engineering, smooth performance, and exquisite style. It had a 2-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled 248cc engine that produced 12–14 horsepower and was mated to a 4-speed gearbox. With a pressed steel backbone and swinging arm rear suspension, the 1961 model's recognisable "C" frame provided a more comfortable ride than rigid frames. With its chrome-finished fuel tank panels, enclosed chain guard, deep valanced fenders, and integrated headlamp and handlebar nacelle, its sleek design gave it a distinctly European look. With its 16-inch or 19-inch spoked rims (depending on the model), drum brakes on both wheels, and a weight of 135–140 kg, the Jawa 250 was both agile and sturdy. The automated oiling system and 2-stroke engine were renowned for their dependability and simplicity of maintenance. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Ideal Jawa Ltd, Mysore, licensed the Jawa 250 for local production, which led to its enormous popularity in India. Its snappy exhaust note, comfy suspension, and smooth acceleration made it a choice among riders for both everyday commuting and touring.
