Cool perimeter frame, looks like watercooling.

I have a little info, but really like playing "Name that Bike"

Could be a bannana frame Jawa.

Looks like the old JAWA logo on the tank.

I'm going to guess it's an old jmx04a

Way to go Wes!! I had never heard of a banana frame before today.

Can you name the rider? He won a few GPs.

Why that would be Vlastimil Valek, of course. :thumb: I believe the 250 GP standings saw him 7th in '64 and 6th in '65. Armchair-hindsight racers claim that Valek could have given Joel Robert a run for his money if he [Valek] had stayed with CZ instead of going to Jawa to develop the "flying bananna."

Busted. But I did make the Bananna Frame guess before I looked.

A little searching and I found this pic. Dang! It's a jmx04-A. Mr Luckey had it!

Oh wait; Mr. Luckey used his advanced perception and near-physic abilities to glean the info from the title of the photo!

Hmmmm . . . . I can't get the picture to load; here's another link;
