Jawa Motorcycles have enjoyed a huge fan following throughout and it was a historic moment for me and the entire Irani family when we brought Jawa back in India last November. We are quite upbeat to offer these classics to the motorcycle enthusiasts in the country. On the roads at the time, it was a simple, rugged and trustworthy motorcycle that would never fail. As a custodian of the JAWA brand, we will endeavour to build the original Jawa spirit in the team to make sure every Jawa dealer goes out and changes the way classic motorcycles are sold to the future riding generation. We are working to build a superlative experience for the customers in terms of brand as well as sales enablement. As we expand our network to gear up for deliveries starting March, I would encourage everyone to visit our dealers and look at the motorcycles, test ride them to feel the modern classics we have created.”

The various elements have been designed to present the contemporary classic Jawa motorcycles amidst a visual narrative layer of legendary stories and monochrome lifestyle imagery.
