The booking process is divided into three steps:

• Fill the form below and pick a dealership in your city
• Validate your mobile number (OTP to confirm the number)
• Pay your booking fee of INR 10,000

Do note that Classic Legends will accept bookings for three months at a time. The deliveries of the Perak bobber, as confirmed by the company officials at the launch event, will start on 2 April 2020.

The Jawa Perak is BS-VI compliant right from the beginning and priced at INR 1,94,500 (ex-showroom). It employs a 334 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC motor that is tuned to deliver 30 BHP of peak power and 31 Nm of maximum torque. The engine is linked to a 6-speed gearbox.

According to a report from November last year, Classic Legends may add the new 334 cc motor to the Jawa and the Jawa Forty-Two motorcycles. The BS-IV compliant Jawa and Jawa Forty-Two, for reference, use a 293 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that delivers 27 BHP of power and 28 Nm of peak torque.

Going back to the Perak, the new bobber-style motorcycle is built around a double cradle tubular frame. Its hardware specifications comprise conventional telescopic hydraulic forks at the front and a 7-step preload adjustable mono-shock at the back to handle the suspension department. Braking power comes from a 280 mm disc at the front and a 240 mm disc at the back. The braking setup is governed by a dual-channel ABS. Ther's no word on a relatively affordable variant with a drum brake at the back and a single-channel ABS.

The Perak bobber will indirectly compete with the likes of Royal Enfield Thunderbird and Benelli Imperiale 400 in the Indian market.
