Jawa Motorcycles – Jawa, Forty Two, Perak
Classic Legends offers two classic-styled Jawa bikes named Jawa and Forty Two along with a bobber model christened, the Perak. The Forty Two cost Rs 1.55 lakh, Jawa at Rs 1.64 lakh and the Perak comes with a price tag of Rs 1.89 lakh (all prices ex-showroom Delhi).
Jawa is for the brand's loyalists. It gets original details like the chrome-plated fuel tank with golden pinstriping and signature Maroon body as well. The Forty Two is the model that defines the modern-day Jawa. It has a neo-retro look with an offset instrument cluster and bar-end mirrors.
The Perak is a more futuristic model. It has a flamboyant stance with a Bobber-like design. It has a low and long stance and comes with a matte-black finish, giving it an ultramodern look.
Both the Jawa and Forty Two are powered by a 293 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine capable of producing 27bhp and 28Nm of peak torque mated to a six-speed gearbox. Jawa Perak is also powered by the same engine but is given a bigger bore, displacing 332cc developing 30bhp and 31Nm of peak torque.
