Jawa Motorcycles are witnessing an overwhelming response and minimum waiting period now stands at five months for both the bikes--Jawa and Jawa 42--in major cities across the country. Deliveries for these bikes, however, commenced on March 31, but delivery for the ABS variants is likely to begin after June 2019, according to the company. In metro cities including Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad, the waiting period is eight months for both the bikes, but the same in Bengaluru and Jaipur is six months. Customers waiting for the Jawa bike in Pune have to spare nine months, according to BikeDekho report.

If we look at cities and their waiting period, this includes Faridabad-5 months; Bengaluru-6 months; Jaipur -6 months; New Delhi- 8 months; Mumbai- 8 months; Hyderabad -8 months; Ghaziabad- 8 months; and Pune- 9 months. Jawa is reportedly working on strengthening its dealership network across the country. 

The company has this week inaugurated its 100th showroom. After adding this feat, Jawa tweeted, “What’s better than 99 dealerships? A hundred! This week showrooms open in Tirupathi, Hubli, Jamshedpur & Tinsukia, making our dealer family a century strong. #Jawa and #fortytwo reach every major Indian city. Thank you Kommuniti, customers & dealers.”

Notably, Jawa dealerships across the country are designed with the same theme, featuring a biker café ambiance, bookshelf of interesting reads and Classic Rock music encompassing the entire showroom. Thus, Jawa showrooms spread across India impart a look of an art gallery, along with displaying Jawa motorcycles. 

Jawa and Jawa 42 are priced at Rs 1,64,000 and Rs 1,55,000 respectively. Launched on 15th Nov 2018, the two bikes have received a very good response, but the company has so far not revealed booking numbers. It, however, has stopped accepting bookings as the order book is reportedly filled till September 2019.

Produced at the Mahindra two-wheeler plant in Pithampura, near Indore in Madhya Pradesh, another Jawa bike, Jawa Perak, is expected to be launched by 2019 end. Jawa Perak is expected to sport a larger 334cc, single cylinder, liquid cooled engine producing 30 bhp power and 31 Nm torque.
