Apart from the aesthetics and power delivery, the unique exhaust note of the old Jawa was something that also had to be recreated. The new engine needed to have a unique sound, given that replicating the tone of a classic 2-stroke on a modern day 4-stroke would have been a big challenge. However, a maverick team of sound engineers in Italy worked extensively with Classic Legends through countless cycles of harmonic pipe combinations and multiple other permutations to discover a sound that was worthy of the new Jawa.
