Sir you forgot about another Jawa moped, the Jawetta. Looks just like the Yezdi Jet. I have seen more of these than the Piony'r.

Yes, the one with a "Cowl" on the Head portion & front fender resembling pion'yr
Tuff ryder,it would have been nice if u posted some pics of the machines we discuss here!!

TuffRyder · 3rd June 2009, 08:04

Sir: I dont own any of these mopeds as of yet. Im still concentrating on my other collection. I would love to add these to my collection some day. Hence I have no pictures to post of them.

A correction to my previous reply, it was not the Jawetta but just the Jawa Jet that is common in India. Here is one that was posted in another section on this website. It is a junked one but then it gives a picture of what it looked like. (second picture from the last)

Wonerful to see the Mopeds thread has many enthusiasts.
I have a Toro Jazz which is collaboration with Motori Mineralli from Italy.Its a 50cc 2-Stroke automatic gear operated moped and gives a good ride.

TuffRyder · 4th June 2009, 07:00

Hillram: If I remember, you have the yellow Jazz right? U had posted its picture somewhere before.

Mod Note:

Thread moved from motorcycle to Vintage section which is more appropriate and reaches the target audience more effectively.
