Jawa 650cc Bobber – RenderAfter a scrambler and Adv, Jawa Europe may have plans to add a bobber as well to its portfolio
Based on sightings of Jawa branded versions of Bristol motorcycles, it’s apparent that both entities have some form of agreement between them. Bristol Motorcycles is a Philippines based company that manufactures several bikes in 250cc to 650cc segment.
Bristol Motorcycles is just around three years old, having commenced operations in 2018. The Jawa-Bristol arrangement could be something similar to what Jawa has with Mahindra-backed Classic Legends that sells Jawa motorcycles in Indian market.
Bristol Bobber based Jawa 650 – key features
Earlier, we had seen rebadged versions of Bristol Veloce 500 and Bristol Venturi 500. In their Jawa branded versions, these are called RVR500 and RVM500, respectively. While Veloce is a scrambler, Venturi comes across as an Adv motorcycle. Original Bristol and their Jawa rebadged versions are largely the same. This is likely to be the case with Bristol Bobber as well.
Talking about Bristol Bobber 650, the bike sports a retro look and feel. Some key features include round headlamp and rear view mirrors, tear-drop shaped fuel tank, turn indicators and rear tail lamp, single piece seat, and broad rear fender.

Use of spoke wheels further enhances the motorcycle’s retro flavour. Handlebars are placed at an ergonomic position, which should ensure comfortable rides for most users. Customers can choose from colour options of black, dark grey, light grey and red.
For European markets, Jawa branded Bristol Bobber could get a new set of colour options. Another likely change could be in engine emissions. As Europe currently follows Euro 5 emission norms, the bike has to be compliant with those standards. If emission standards in Philippines don’t match Euro 5 standards, the engine and exhaust system may have to be tweaked accordingly.
Bristol Bobber engine and specs
Bristol Bobber is powered by a 649cc, liquid cooled, DOHC parallel twin, 8-valve motor. It is capable of generating 69 hp of max power at 8500 rpm and 62 Nm of peak torque at 7000 rpm. It is mated to a 6-speed transmission.
Jawa 500cc Adventure Motorcycle
The bike measures 2,245 mm in length, 940 mm in width, 1,040 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 1,505 mm. Seat height and ground clearance is 740mm and 130mm, respectively. It weighs 225 kg and can carry 14.5 litres of fuel. Fuel efficiency is 16 kmpl and rated max speed is 165 kmph.
Suspension system comprises KYB Telescopic forks at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear. Braking duties are performed by 345mm disc at the front and 280mm disc at the rear. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard.
It is unlikely that Bristol motorcycles or their rebadged versions will be launched in India. Classic Legends managed Jawa India, however, may choose to introduce a larger capacity bobber or other motorcycles in the Indian market. Yezdi RoadKing is one such product that is expected to be launched soon in India. The company is also said to be working to revive BSA brand, which will be targeted at UK market. First BSA 650cc motorcycle was recently spied on test in Pune. More

Jawa Khakhi ColourJawa has launched two new colour options – Khakhi and Midnight Grey
Jawa updated the 42 earlier this year. As compared to the older Jawa 42 which was seen with extensive use of chrome across its body, the new Jawa 42 gets blacked out elements to enhance its sportiness. These include blacked out dual exhausts, engine and rear twin shocks along with telescopic front fork and headlamp casing. Now it is the Jawa, which has received an update.
Royal Enfield tasted success with their limited edition Pegasus based on Classic 500 and the current Signals Edition based on Classic 350. Both these editions were launched as a tribute to armed forces. Now, Jawa has launched a new Khakhi colour option which seems to have been inspired by its rival.
Jawa Midnight Grey Colour
Jawa Khakhi & Midnight Grey
With these new colour options, Jawa is celebrating 50th anniversary of India’s 1971 war victory. Jawa says, “What makes these motorcycles special is the commemorative emblem that proudly features the prestigious Indian Army insignia flanked by a ‘laurel wreath’ symbolizing the 1971 victory. Jawa Motorcycles is honoured to be the first manufacturer to be allowed to do so on a production motorcycle.”
Jawa says that the Khakhi colour option “signifies the spirit of selfless service to the nation by the men in uniform.” Jawa Midnight Grey is inspired by the Battle of Longewala. The new colour is an ode to the bravery of these soldiers and the victory that we achieved on this night. Both these Jawa motorcycles are on sale at a price of Rs 1,93,357, ex-sh, Delhi.

Styling
New Jawa Khakhi and Midnight Grey add a dark sophistication and a more outdoorsy feel to the Jawa character. Both shades are finished in matte and feature an all-black theme that runs across the mechanical parts of the motorcycle.
The engine now features brushed fins adding to the attention to detail. The 1971 War Victory commemorative insignia occupies the place of pride on the fuel tank flanked by tricolour stripes.
Specs
Engine specs remain same as before. There is no change in engine lineup for the 2021 Jawa which continues to be powered by a 293cc, single cylinder, fuel injected, liquid cooled, DOHC engine offering 27 hp power at 6,800 rpm and 27.03 Nm torque at 5,000 rpm.
The motor is mated to a 6 speed gearbox. Suspension also stays unchanged with telescopic fork in the front and twin spring setup at the rear while the company claims to have revised suspension and frame for better ground clearance. Jawa also claims to have strengthened the chassis at vital points while the seat has been improved for better room and rider comfort. More

Jawa MotorcyclesThis is the second price hike announced by the company in 2021 – Last one was in January
Due to rising input costs, several two-wheeler manufacturers have announced price hikes this year. Jawa joins the list with prices of its motorcycles increased in the range of Rs 7,200 to Rs 8,700. The exact figure will be based on the model and variant.
Customers who book their Jawa motorcycle from July 8 (today) onwards will have to pay as per the revised pricing. The news was reported by Car And Bike, a Mahindra owned automotive news website. Mahindra also owns Jawa via their venture Classic Legends.
Jawa had increased prices of all its motorcycles earlier this year in January as well. At that time, a single rate price hike of Rs 2,987 was applied to all models and variants. Later in February, the company had launched 2021 Jawa 42. It came with cosmetic updates, new colour options, new range of accessories and a retuned engine that delivers slightly more power. 2021 Jawa 42 was launched at an increased price of Rs 1.84 lakh (ex-showroom).
No updates
Latest hike in prices of Jawa motorcycles is primarily due to increase in cost of raw materials. All motorcycles will be largely the same as earlier. However, Jawa is offering a helmet to its new customers. This is expected to provide some relief to customers who will be required to pay the higher prices. But considering that helmet rule has been strictly implemented and most people already have one, the usefulness of free helmet scheme seems uncertain.

Talking about bobber-styled Jawa Perak, the motorcycle is powered by a 334cc, single cylinder, liquid cooled motor that generates 30.64 ps and 32.74 Nm. It is mated to a constant mesh 6-speed transmission. Perak has double cradle tubular frame with telescopic front forks and 7-step adjustable monoshock rear suspension.

Yezdi Roadking test mule spiedWhile Yezdi will focus on domestic market, BSA will primarily target European countries
After resurrecting Jawa brand in 2018, Classic Legends is working aggressively on expanding its product portfolio. Currently, it retails three motorcycles, Jawa, Jawa forty two and Perak. The company has around 200 outlets across India and cumulative sales have been around 50,000 units. To power the next phase of growth, the company urgently needs to expand its product portfolio. That’s where Yezdi and BSA brands are going to play a critical role.
Yezdi motorcycle
With Yezdi, Classic Legends can generate higher volumes. In FY2021, the company’s sales were 20,801 bikes (excluding data from Telangana, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh). At current volumes, it may become difficult for dealers to sustain their business in a profitable manner. Yezdi has good potential in the Indian market, as it is a popular name among enthusiasts. Just like Jawa, it also evokes a sense of nostalgia.
Yezdi Roadking Testing
Yezdi motorcycle is planned to debut during the festive season, around pre-Diwali period. It will be using the same 293cc, single cylinder, liquid cooled motor that does duty on Jawa. It is capable of generating 27.33 PS of max power and 27.02 Nm of max torque. It is mated to a 6-speed constant mesh transmission.
Yezdi could also borrow other hardware pieces such as suspension and brakes. It will be manufactured on the same assembly line that is currently being utilized for Jawa at the company’s production facility in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. Under the revival, Yezdi could name their first motorcycle as Roadking, appropriate trademarks have been filed.

650cc BSA motorcycles
BSA brand has similar familiarity and fan following in European markets, just like Jawa and Yezdi in India. Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) was established way back in 1861. The iconic British motorcycle brand was bought by Mahindra a few years back for around Rs 28 crore.
Dedicated teams at Classic Legends are currently working to perfect a new 650cc engine. This will power multiple middleweight BSA motorcycles. The engine is being tested on various parameters such as dynamics, handling and emission compliance norms in UK. Simultaneously, the design of the motorcycle is being developed at the company’s design centre in UK.
BSA motorcycles will initially be launched in UK. They will be manufactured in India and assembled overseas. A dedicated assembly line has already been setup at Pithampur plant for manufacturing the premium BSA motorcycles. The new bikes could be unveiled at upcoming EICMA 2021 in Milan. However, launch timelines are not clear. These will take on 650cc motorcycles from Royal Enfield.
As per reports, Classic Legends is also working on an electric motorcycle that will be launched under BSA brand. For this, the company has been given a grant of 4.3 million pounds (around Rs 45.2 crore) by UK government.

Jawa Classic Matte Black. Credit – Jawa Surat / Agozee KustomsJawa is no doubt a beautiful classic worth admiring at, but colour options are fairly limited
For most people buying Jawa, the choice would be either Black or Maroon. There’s a Grey option as well, but that colour theme may not appeal to everyone. In comparison, Jawa forty two offers lot more colour options such as Nebula Blue (Glossy), Comet Red (Glossy), Starlight Blue (Matte), Lumos Lime (Matte), Halley’s Teal (Matte) and Galactic Green (Matte).
It’s always possible that a customer wants the standard Jawa, but doesn’t like the available stock colours. In this situation, the right thing to do would be to approach a customization shop. This way, the customer can have their preferred ride in the colour of their own choosing.
A recent example comes from Surat based agozee_kustoms that has carried out a seamless transformation of Jawa in Matte Black colour. This customization job is done for Seema Bikes, which is the authorized dealer of Jawa India. Cost of the modification is Rs 15,000 – above the cost of the motorcycle.
Jawa Matte Black key details
The bike gets Matte Black shade all around. It covers the headlight, front and rear fenders, rear view mirrors, fuel tank, radiator, front suspension, and side panels. Engine, spoke wheels and exhaust have also been blacked out. The only metallic bits that are left can be seen on the headlight ring, turn indicators, rear suspension and kick-start lever.

The golden pinstriping has been retained in largely the same format as is available with the stock variant. This is an integral design element that gives the bike its retro flavour. The golden pinstriping can be seen on the headlight cowl, front and rear fenders, fuel tank and side panels.
Jawa Classic Matte Black
If we compare the customized Matte Black with stock Black colour, the latter can be seen with liberal use of metallic bits. Components like the front suspension, fuel tank, engine, exhaust, rear suspension and spoke wheels wear a metallic shade. For folks with relatively sober colour preferences, the customized Matte Black shade could be an ideal choice.
Factory finish
A notable aspect of this customization project is that the workmanship is truly outstanding. The Matte Black shade looks even all across and other finer details have been executed with perfection.
The bike’s design and Matte Black shade have turned out to be a perfect match. It’s something that the company can consider launching as a new shade for Jawa and Jawa forty two. Something similar is already offered with Jawa Perak. More
