Jawa Motorcycles surprised everyone today by
introducing the Jawa Perak bobber for a price of INR 1.89 lakh (ex-showroom
Delhi). The Jawa Perak is a factory-custom bobber that will go on sale in
2019. The company has not revealed the exact launch timeframe for the Perak
bobber. Apart from the bobber, the company has launched the ‘Jawa’ classic, for
a price of INR 1.64 lakh and the Jawa Forty-Two that costs INR 1.55 lakh (both
the prices are ex-showroom Delhi).
Bookings and delivery details for the Jawa Perak
will be shared at a later date. Unlike the other two motorcycles, the Perak
bobber will source power from a bored-out 334 cc, single-cylinder, BS-VI
compliant liquid-cooled motor that produces 30 bhp of maximum power and 31 Nm
of peak torque. The fuel-injected motor transfers control to the wheel via a
6-speed gearbox.
The Jawa Perak bobber features a matte black paint
scheme. It is underpinned by a double-cradle chassis; however, the rear
sub-frame is entirely omitted to complete the bobber look. The swing-arm and
the under-seat rear mono-shock is designed in such a way that the bike seems to
have a hard-tail chassis.
The Jawa Perak's fuel tank and the headlight dome
are borrowed from the ‘Jawa’ classic, but it features a single cantilever
leather-wrapped seat. It comes with chopped front and rear fenders and an
under-seat mounted taillight. The flat handlebar, bar-end mirrors and the retro
turn signals augment the classic bobber design.
A front telescopic unit and an adjustable rear mono-shock
perform suspension duties. Braking hardware includes a 280 mm front disc and a
240 mm rear rotor, with ByBre callipers. Dual-channel ABS is standard. The
motorcycle comes with an 18-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheel setup.
The rear tyre is a Pirelli Angel CT, while the front is a Pirelli Sports Demon.
