Built by Moscow-based Central Construction and Experimental Bureau with help from Motokov (Jawa) in Czechoslovakia, the Vostok 350 and 500 fours raced outside of Russia only infrequently, and always in Communist-controlled countries. Loosely based on the Honda/MV/Gilera designs, these crudely built and unreliable machines disappeared in 1969, outclassed by European and Japanese machinery. These machines were the most technically advanced racing motorcycles that Russia ever produced.
