Although Škoda is named after its founder, the word “škoda” also means “pity” or “shame” in Czech.

That doesn’t look like a cafe racer to me. Maybe the cafe is in The Jetsons?

Remember Jawa mopeds? Czechs make good weapons too. CZ.

Awkward looking.

A little too colorful for my tastes. Make it a one-color or two-tone and you’d have something that looks a bit like a Lightcycle from TRON.

Hotfoot achtung. The foot rest looks like a piece of copper pipe.

Beer, motorcycles and firearms.

Three reasons to sign a trade deal right there.

The article seems to forget that Skoda, was one of the primary makers of heavy artillery for Germany and Austria-Hungary during both World War I and World War II. Skoda enabled the Kaiser and Hitler to initiate and continue aggression against virtually every nation in Europe. That should never be forgotten.

Cafe racers haven’t been all that popular for 20+ years.

To my knowledge, and a little researching, there are no charging ports in the US to support the bike. The only company that has been able to build enough ports for their cars that need them, so far, is Tesla.

The US doesn’t have enough charging ports for anything out there for all they have now in the market. And judging from the response from American owners there hasn’t been a real sense of urgency to get them for all autos already on the street. But that is reliant on the owners buying their own charging stations for the house. Plus the bike station would be different from the other cars at the house, also.

Possibly a bad investment until the full use can be accomplished, if ever.

Jawa was a Czech M/C business back in the day. I think 2-stroke EPA law killed it off in the US market.
