Jawa Nanuk: The specialized Czechoslovak police motorcycle

The Jawa Nanuk was a specialized motorcycle variant introduced in 1962 for Czechoslovak Public Security motorcycle units. Produced by Jawaz Týnce nad Sázavou, it was a modified version of the 350/354-06 model, commonly known as the 'kývačka'.

A defining feature of the Nanuk was its large, aerodynamic fiberglass fairing developed by Velorex and manufactured by Jas Pardubice. This fairing was designed to protect officers from wind and rain, though it increased the motorcycle's weight to 152 kilograms and made it highly sensitive to side winds. While the aerodynamic shape slightly increased the top speed from 120 to 130 km/h, test riders noted that the fairing and high footpeg placement negatively impacted handling and rider comfort.
