Thareja also added that the high demand for the Jawa and Jawa Forty-Two have pushed the production of the Perak bobber. He stated:
As to the production of the Jawa Perak in June-July 2019, the exceptionally high demand for the Jawa & Jawa Forty-Two has now pushed the start of production for the Perak to later this year as the focus now is on commencing deliveries of the Jawa and Jawa Forty-Two.
Jawa Motorcycles had previously told IAB that the deliveries of the Perak bobber would commence from September 2019. Meanwhile, the deliveries of the Jawa and Jawa Forty-Two would begin from this month. Jawa Motorcycles India replied to a potential owner on Twitter, saying:
