The new Jawa portfolio consists of three bikes — the Jawa Forty Two (Rs 1.55 lakh), the Jawa (Rs 1.64 lakh) and the Jawa Perak (Rs 1.89 lakh, all ex-showroom prices), but currently, only the former two are on sale. We ride the Jawa and Jawa Forty Two and find out how they behave on real-world conditions. Being a Jedi warrior is like somewhat similar to being a motorcyclist. It’s important to hone in your powers or ‘The Force’ and to have control over it. Based on your characteristics, the core powers get separated into the Light or the Dark side. Now all this may sound irrelevant but allow me to explain how this mantra is connected to riding. Motorcycling gives you an opportunity to break your daily grind and experience, what some may call it, Zen. But to attain this, the rider needs the help and guidance of Master Yoda, in this case, your motorcycle, to hone into your riding skills. That’s why, it is important for both the rider and the machine to be in sync, speak the same language and understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses. This is where Jawa Motorcycles come in as they have a certain emotional connect with their riders and even manage to romanticize the journey, which other brands may not be able to understand at this numbers pushing corporate world.
