forget it stick to the SX/EXC525 RFS type engine.
smaller
lighter
readily available
easy to find parts
tuneable

I think a few in the UK have enquired about Jawa with limited success in contacting the company or acquiring parts.

KTM are certainly easier to get hold of and get serviced over here. :-)
