The 2014 Jawa 660 represents a notable entry from the Czech manufacturer, continuing a lineage of accessible and distinctive motorcycles. Positioned as a Supermotard, it aimed to capture riders seeking a versatile and engaging experience. While not as widely distributed as some global brands, the 660 carved out its niche, competing directly with models like the Suzuki DR-Z400SM and the KTM 690 SMC R in the mid-range supermoto segment, offering a more traditional, perhaps slightly less aggressive, take on the category.
At the heart of the 2014 Jawa 660 is a robust 651.90 ccm (39.78 cubic inches) Minarelli engine. This single-cylinder unit produces a respectable 47.47 HP (34.6 kW) at 6500 RPM, providing ample power for its intended purpose. Torque figures are equally impressive, reaching 57.00 Nm (5.8 kgf-m or 42.0 ft.lbs) at a lower 5000 RPM, suggesting a tractable power delivery. This allows the 660 to achieve a top speed of 165.0 km/h (102.5 mph). With a wet weight of 195.0 kg (429.9 pounds) and a fuel capacity of 17.00 litres (4.49 gallons), the motorcycle offers a good balance of power-to-weight and range for extended rides.
As a Supermotard, the Jawa 660 emphasizes an upright riding stance, typical of the category, which contributes to excellent visibility and control. The seat height, at 860 mm (33.9 inches) in its lowest adjustable setting, caters to riders who appreciate a commanding perch. This ergonomic setup, combined with wide handlebars, facilitates quick changes in direction and responsive handling, whether navigating twisty backroads or urban environments. The suspension components are tuned to absorb road imperfections while maintaining a firm feel for spirited riding, characteristic of a Supermotard's dual-purpose design intent.
The 2014 Jawa 660 appealed to riders seeking a motorcycle that could handle a variety of situations with a unique flair. Its Supermotard classification indicates its suitability for those who appreciate the agility of a dirt bike combined with road-going capabilities. This motorcycle was a solid choice for riders who valued a straightforward, mechanically sound machine with a distinctive European heritage, offering a less common alternative to the mainstream options in the mid-displacement supermoto market. It provided a reliable and enjoyable riding experience for both daily commuting and weekend adventures.
