Jawa Perak Bobber Launched In India, Priced At Rs. 1.94 Lakh

Classic Legends, a subsidiary of Mahindra & Mahindra, has launched the Jawa Perak bobber in India priced at Rs. 1.94 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The all-new Jawa Perak is the country's most affordable Bobber-styled motorcycle and comes to the market exactly a year after it was first showcased at the Jawa brand launch in 2018. The new factory-produced Bobber is about Rs. 5000 more expensive than the original pricing of Rs. 1.89 lakh (ex-showroom), and is the only-of-its-kind offering at that price. The Perak borrows its name from the original Perak that was showcased at the 1946 Paris Motor Show during World War II. The bike will be BS6 compliant and booking will commence from January 2020, while deliveries will commence from April 2, 2020. Bookings for the Perak will be open for a period of 3 months only.

The new Jawa Perak keeps the bobber design intact with the low-slung and floating single seat with integrated taillight, teardrop fuel tank and a low-set and wide handlebar. The pillion seat is optional on the motorcycle. The design is distinctively that of the Jawa bikes with the bullet shell shaped headlamp long forks and a wheelbase of 1485 mm. The bike gets a blacked out paint job that definitely looks menacing and includes the engine as well as the spoked wheels.

The big difference though on the Jawa Perak as compared to other Jawa motorcycles is the larger capacity engine. The bike uses a 334 cc single-cylinder, DOHC liquid-cooled motor that belts out about 30 bhp and 31 Nm of peak torque. The engine uses the same 293 cc mill from the Jawa and the Jawa Forty Two but has been bored out to produce more power. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and is BS6 compliant, which makes it effectively the first Jawa to meet the upcoming emission regulations.

Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks up front and a monoshock unit at the rear, as opposed to twin shocks on other Jawa bikes. Stopping power comes from twin disc brakes with dual-channel ABS as standard. It also gets a longer swingarm than other Jawa motorcycles.

The Jawa Perak will be produced at the same Pithampur facility as the other Jawa bikes. Bookings are now open for the new Perak while deliveries will start by early next year.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.
