Jawa is back in India and the first motorcycle they've launched is called the, er, Jawa. Classic Legends, a Mahindra-owned company has the right to develop and sell Jawa-branded motorcycles as well rights to the BSA brand name. The Jawa Jawa and it's ?12,000 less expensive sibling, the Jawa Forty-Two are brand new. The engine development may have started at the Mahindra Mojo but in final form there is nothing in common. What both promise is lots of low- and mid-range torque and a sound that approaches the two-stroke signature of the old Jawas and Yezdis. The engine is slotted into a brand-new double cradle frame and the Jawa has simple but well-tuned suspension and good brakes with single-channel ABS standard. But obviously, it's the chrome Jawa Jawa that draws you in with its unabashedly retro design. Worth the ?1.66 lakh ex-Delhi Classic Legends is asking for the Jawa Jawa? Shumi finally got to ride the Jawa Jawa and the Jawa Forty-Two at the media preview. Bookings are open but Classic Legends indicates that Jawa deliveries will only start by February 2019. Here's what he thought of the bikes.
